Etymology
The root ب-ل-غ is a native Semitic triliteral meaning 'to reach, arrive at, attain.' Arabic Form IV adds a causative prefix, so أَبْلَغَ literally means 'to make something reach' someone, which gives the sense of informing or delivering a message. This causative pattern is productive across many Arabic roots, not unique to this word.
