Etymology
The word is the verbal noun of the Form IV verb أَزالَ, meaning to remove or make cease. It builds on the triliteral root ز-و-ل, whose base verb زالَ means to cease, decline, or vanish. The Form IV pattern إِفْعالَة adds a causative sense, so the noun names the act of causing something to go away.
