Etymology

رُجُوع is the masdar, or verbal noun, of the triliteral Arabic root ر-ج-ع (r-j-ʿ), whose core sense is going back to a starting point. The word follows the فُعُول (fuʿūl) pattern, a common shape for the verbal noun of simple intransitive verbs. It is a native Semitic formation, not a borrowing.
