Etymology
تَخَلَّصَ is the Form V (تَفَعَّلَ) verb built on the Semitic root خ-ل-ص, which carries the sense of being pure, clear, or free. The base verb خَلَصَ means to be pure or to become free. The Form V pattern adds a reflexive sense, so the word means to make oneself free of something. The same root gives the noun إِخْلاص (sincerity) and خَلاص (deliverance).
