Etymology

تَجْرِبَة comes from the triliteral Semitic root ج-ر-ب (j-r-b), which carries the sense of trying and testing. It is the verbal noun of the Form II verb جَرَّبَ, meaning to try or to test. The تَفْعِلَة pattern turns that action into a thing: a trial, and by extension an experiment or a lived experience.
