Etymology
The word derives from the Semitic root ع-م-ل (ʿ-m-l), meaning to work or to do. From the base noun عَمَل (work) the relational suffix forms عَمَلِيّ (practical), and the feminine ending turns this adjective into a noun naming a structured piece of work: an operation or process. The sense later extended to surgery, military action, and any multi-step procedure.
