Etymology

تَحْسِين is the verbal noun of the Form II verb حَسَّنَ, "to make good" or "to improve," built on the triliteral Semitic root ح-س-ن, which carries the core sense of goodness and beauty. The same root gives Arabic حَسَن, "good, beautiful," and حُسْن, "beauty." A related root appears elsewhere in Semitic languages with a sense of strength or firmness, though the exact historical link between the two senses is debated among specialists.
