Etymology
The verb comes from the Semitic root ط-و-ر (ṭ-w-r), whose core sense is a stage, turn, or phase that something passes through. Arabic builds تَطَوَّر in Form V, which typically marks a verb as reflexive or gradual. So the word literally frames development as an entity moving itself through successive stages, rather than being pushed by an outside force.
