The verb comes from the triliteral Semitic root م-ت-ع (m-t-ʿ), which carries the sense of goods, provision, and the pleasure taken in them. It is the Form V (تَفَعَّل) reflexive derivation, so it means to secure enjoyment or benefit for oneself. The related noun مَتاع means possessions or the comfort they bring.
