Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root ʿ-z-z, which carries the sense of might, esteem, and rare value. The classical verb ʿazza means to be mighty, dear, or hard to attain. أَعَزّ is the elative form built on the pattern أفعل, so it means more or most dear, precious, or mighty. Arabic is a Semitic language, so it has no Proto-Indo-European root.
