Etymology
The word comes from the Arabic root ح-س-ب (ḥ-s-b), meaning to count, reckon, or calculate. It follows the فاعول (fāʿūl) pattern, which often forms nouns of instrument or intense action. Language academies coined it in the twentieth century to name the computer, choosing a native form over the borrowed كمبيوتر.
