Etymology
جملة comes from the Arabic root ج-م-ل (j-m-l), which carries the sense of gathering something into one complete whole. The noun first meant a total or an entirety, and from there it came to mean a complete grammatical unit: a sentence. The same root gives جميل (beautiful) and جمال (beauty), an old link between the idea of wholeness and the idea of pleasing form.
