Etymology
إطلاق is the verbal noun of the Form IV verb أطلق, 'to release or set free.' It comes from the triliteral root ط-ل-ق, which carries the sense of being loose or unbound. The same root gives طلاق, 'divorce,' understood as the release of a spouse. The إفعال pattern marks the act of causing something to be let loose.
