Etymology

إتمام is the verbal noun of the Form IV verb أَتَمَّ, itself built on the triliteral root ت-م-م (tamma), meaning to be whole or complete. The Form IV pattern إفعال turns the basic sense of wholeness into the causative act of making something whole, that is, finishing it. The root is old and widespread across Semitic languages with the same core meaning of completeness.
