The word comes from the Semitic root ح-س-س, which carries the idea of feeling or perceiving. It follows the فَعّال pattern, which names an agent or a device that does an action intensively. In modern Arabic it was adopted as the standard term for a technical sensor. The same root gives the verb حَسَّ, to sense.
