Etymology
تَحْديد is the form II verbal noun of the verb حَدَّدَ, built on the pattern تَفْعيل. The triconsonantal root ح-د-د carries the sense of edge, limit, and sharpness, seen in حَدّ (limit, border) and حادّ (sharp). To do تَحْديد is to set the edges of a thing: its date, its place, its scope.
