Etymology
آمَن comes from the Semitic root ء-م-ن, tied to the ideas of security and trust. In its Form IV pattern it means to treat something as secure, which extended to believing in it or trusting it. The same root gives Arabic أَمْن (safety) and إِيمَان (faith), and it is shared across Semitic languages, not Indo-European ones.
