Etymology
دَخَلَ comes from the Semitic triliteral root د-خ-ل (d-kh-l), which carries the core sense of entering or going inside. The same root produces a wide family of common words, such as دُخُول (entry), مَدْخَل (entrance), and دَاخِل (interior). The root is Semitic and has no Indo-European source, so there is no PIE root to cite.
