عَلَنِيّpublic, open
عَلانِيَةopenly, publicly
Etymology
The verb comes from the triliteral Semitic root ع-ل-ن (ʕ-l-n), which carries the idea of being open, public, or in the open. The form here is the causative Form IV, أَفْعَلَ, so it means to make something public. Related words in Arabic keep the same sense of openness, such as عَلَنِيّ (public) and عَلانِيَة (openly).
