Etymology
بُلُوغ comes from the Arabic triliteral root ب ل غ, whose base verb بَلَغَ means to reach or arrive at something. The noun follows the فُعُول template, a common pattern for turning a verb into an abstract noun of action. So بُلُوغ literally names the act or state of reaching a point, whether that point is a place, a goal, or an age.
