Etymology
إِعْلان is the verbal noun of the Form IV verb أَعْلَنَ, 'to make public, to announce.' It is built on the triliteral root ع-ل-ن, which carries the idea of being open or overt, the opposite of secret. The إِفْعال pattern turns that root into the act or result of making something public. The same root gives عَلَنِيّ, 'public,' and عَلانِيَة, 'openly.'
