Etymology
تشريح is the verbal noun (maṣdar) of the Form II verb شرّح (sharraha), itself built on the triliteral Semitic root ش-ر-ح (sh-r-ḥ), whose basic sense is to open up, expose, or explain. Form II adds an intensive or effective sense, so شرّح came to mean cutting a body into pieces for examination, and تشريح denotes that act or the resulting field of study. Because Arabic belongs to the Semitic family rather than the Indo-European one, it has no Proto-Indo-European ancestor.
