Etymology
تَبَوَّل is a Form V verb built on the triliteral root ب و ل, the same root behind بَوْل (urine) and the Form I verb بَالَ (to urinate). The تَ- prefix and the doubled middle radical mark the derived pattern تَفَعَّلَ, which often carries a reflexive or intensive sense in Arabic verb formation. In practice تَبَوَّل functions as a near-synonym of بَالَ, but shows up more often in medical and formal writing.
