Etymology
The verb comes from the Semitic triliteral root و-ج-د (w-j-d), whose core sense is finding and existence. It is built on the Form VI pattern تَفاعَلَ, which often marks a reflexive or stative meaning. So the word shifts the idea of being found into the idea of being present or existing in a place. Its use in this sense is largely modern and journalistic.
