Etymology
تَسَلُّق is the verbal noun of the Form V verb تَسَلَّقَ, built on the root س-ل-ق. The base root carries older senses tied to stripping or boiling something, and Form V shifted the meaning toward gripping and pulling oneself upward, hence climbing. This is a native Semitic formation, not a loanword.
