مَطْلُوبrequired, wantedEtymology
The verb comes from the triconsonantal root ط-ل-ب, which carries the sense of seeking and requesting. The base Form I verb طَلَبَ means to seek or to ask for. تَطَلَّب is the Form V (tafaʿʿala) derivation, where the prefix and the doubled middle radical shift the meaning toward an inherent demand, giving the sense to require or to call for.
