Etymology
بَوْل comes from the Semitic root ب-و-ل, which underlies the verb بَالَ ("to urinate"). As a Semitic root, it has no Indo-European (PIE) ancestor, so it sits outside that family tree entirely. The noun بَوْل is the masdar, or verbal noun, of this root, used to name the act and its product.
