Etymology
طِبِّيّ is a nisba, or relative adjective, built from the noun طِبّ (ṭibb), meaning medicine or the art of healing. The base verb طَبَّ (ṭabba) carried the sense of treating an ailment and of being skilled at a craft. The suffix ـِيّ converts the noun into an adjective meaning of or relating to medicine.
