Etymology
قاعَة comes from the triliteral root ق-و-ع, which carries the sense of low flat ground, a floor, or a bottom. The related noun قاع means the bed or bottom of a valley or sea. A قاعة is the large floored space inside a building, hence a hall or large room. The medial root letter wāw surfaces here as the long vowel ā.
