Etymology
The root ب-ر-ع carries the base sense of excelling or standing out, as in the verb بَرَعَ. Form V of this root, تَبَرَّعَ, adds a reflexive and voluntary shade of meaning: to do something on one's own initiative, without being asked or obliged. تَبَرُّع is the verbal noun of that Form V verb, so it names the act itself: a donation given freely rather than owed.
