Etymology
Ishāʿa is the verbal noun of the Form IV verb ashāʿa, meaning to spread or circulate something. Both trace to the triliteral Semitic root sh-y-ʿ, which carries the basic sense of becoming widespread or common knowledge. Arabic is a Semitic language, so it has no Indo-European ancestry and no PIE root applies here.
