Etymology
The word traces to the triliteral Arabic root ن-ز-ل (n-z-l), whose verb نَزَلَ means to descend, alight, or take up lodging. From this root Arabic forms مَنْزِل (manzil), a place noun meaning house or dwelling, literally the place where one alights and stays. Adding the nisba suffix ـيّ (-iyy), which turns nouns into relative adjectives much like English -ic or -al, produces مَنْزِلِيّ, meaning of or pertaining to the house or household.
