Etymology
The Arabic root و-ص-ل (w-ṣ-l) carries the core sense of arriving, reaching, or joining. The Form II verb وصّل (wassala) adds a causative meaning: to make something arrive, to connect it, or to deliver it. توصيل is the verbal noun (masdar) of that causative verb, so it names the act of causing something or someone to arrive or connect. It is a native Semitic formation, not borrowed from another language.
