Etymology
This is the verbal noun of the Form V verb تَخَلَّصَ, built on the Semitic root خ-ل-ص, which carries the idea of being pure, clear, and free. Form I خَلَصَ means to be free or saved, and the reflexive Form V turns that into freeing oneself. So the noun names the act of getting oneself clear of something.
