Etymology
The word is the active participle of the Semitic root خ-ر-ق, meaning to pierce, tear, or break through. From the sense of breaking through a barrier came the figurative sense of breaking through the ordinary, hence extraordinary or supernatural. The common phrase خارق للعادة literally means breaking with custom.
