تَغْيِيرchange, modification (of something else)Etymology
تَغَيُّر is the verbal noun of the Form V verb تَغَيَّرَ, built on the triliteral root غ-ي-ر, which carries the core sense of otherness and difference. The tafa''ul pattern (تَفَعُّل) marks a reflexive or intransitive process, so the noun denotes the state of becoming other or different rather than the act of changing something else. That transitive sense belongs to the related Form II noun تَغْيِير. Arabic is a Semitic language, so it has no Proto-Indo-European root or IE cognates.
