Etymology
The word derives from the triliteral root ت-ق-ن (t-q-n), tied to the idea of mastery and precise execution. The noun تِقْنِيَة ("technology, technique") was coined in the modern period to render the Greek-rooted European term, and تَقْنِيّ is its relational adjective. The Arabic root itself, meaning to do something with skill and exactness, made it a natural fit for the borrowed concept.
