Etymology
مَجال comes from the triliteral Arabic root ج-و-ل (j-w-l), which means to roam, go around, or circulate. The word is a noun of place built on the pattern مَفْعَل, so the literal idea is a place where one moves about. From a space for roaming it shifted to the abstract sense of a field, scope, or area of activity.
