Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root ف-ط-ر (f-ṭ-r), whose core sense is to split or break something open. A mushroom earns this name because it seems to burst through the soil overnight. The same root gives فَطَرَ, to create or originate, and فاطر, one of the names for God as the splitter or originator of the heavens.
