Etymology
The word is a nisba adjective formed from the noun فَنّ (fann), meaning art, craft, or technique. The suffix -iyy turns the noun into an adjective of relation, so فَنِّيّ means belonging to art or craft. In modern usage it covers both the artistic sense and the technical sense, since fann can mean either.
