Etymology
The word comes from the triconsonantal root ر-ح-ل (r-ḥ-l), which means to journey or depart. It is built on the مَفْعَلَة pattern, which forms nouns of place, time, or instance. The original sense was the distance covered in one day of travel, a single leg of a route. From there it broadened to mean any stage or phase of a process.
