Etymology
تَوْفِير is the verbal noun of the Form II verb وَفَّرَ (waffara), built on the triliteral Semitic root و-ف-ر, which carries the core idea of abundance and sufficiency. The Form II pattern typically makes a verb causative, so waffara means to cause something to be abundant or available, either by saving it up or by supplying it. The masdar تَوْفِير then names that action: the act of saving or the act of providing.
