Etymology
The word is the verbal noun of the form II verb غَطَّى, meaning to cover. It is built on the Semitic triliteral root غ-ط-ي. The prefixed تَـ and the pattern تَفْعِلَة mark it as the action noun of that doubled verb. From the basic sense of putting a cover over something, modern Arabic extended it to news coverage and signal coverage.
