Etymology
أدعى comes from the Arabic root د ع و (d-ʕ-w), the same root behind دعا, 'to call, invite, or claim'. It is built on the أفعل pattern, the standard Arabic form for comparison, so it literally means 'more calling toward' something. Over time this became a fixed idiom for describing one thing as a stronger cause or trigger for another. Arabic is a Semitic language, not Indo-European, so it has no PIE ancestor.
