Etymology
Ḍajīj comes from the Arabic triliteral root ḍ-j-j, which conveys the idea of clamor or loud commotion. The verb ḍajja means to cry out or make a racket, and ḍajīj is its intensive verbal-noun form, denoting the resulting noise itself. The root is native Semitic and has no connection to Indo-European vocabulary.
