خَطّlineEtymology
تَخْطِيط is the verbal noun of the Form II verb خَطَّطَ, built on the Semitic root خ-ط-ط, which centers on the idea of drawing or marking a line. From the physical act of tracing lines came the abstract sense of laying out a course of action, so the word came to mean planning. The same root gives تخطيط its narrower technical use in phrases like تخطيط القلب, a literal charting of the heart's line, meaning an ECG.
