Etymology
The word is a nisba adjective built on the Semitic root د-خ-ل (d-kh-l), 'to enter, go inside.' The active participle داخِل means 'entering' and, as a noun, 'the interior, the inside.' Adding the relational suffix ـِيّ turns it into an adjective: 'pertaining to the inside,' hence 'internal, interior, domestic.'
