Etymology
تَصَرُّف is the verbal noun of the Form V verb تَصَرَّفَ, meaning to act or to dispose freely. It comes from the triliteral root ص-ر-ف, whose core sense is turning, diverting, and spending. The Form V pattern adds a reflexive shade, so the noun names how a person turns and handles things. From there it covers both conduct and the legal disposal of property.
