Etymology

Taʿlīm is the verbal noun of the Form II verb ʿallama, 'to teach,' which is the causative of ʿalima, 'to know.' All rest on the Semitic root ʿ-l-m, which links knowing to teaching: to teach is to make someone know. The tafʿīl template that shapes the word names the act or process behind such Form II verbs.
