سُؤالquestionEtymology
إِجابَة is the verbal noun of the Form IV verb أَجابَ, meaning to answer or respond. It is built on the triliteral root ج-و-ب, whose core sense is to respond and, more broadly, to traverse or cut across. Because the middle radical is the weak letter و, the expected pattern إِفعال collapses to إِفالة, and a final tāʾ is added to make up for the lost letter.
