Etymology
The word comes from the triliteral root و-ق-ع (w-q-ʿ), whose verb وَقَعَ means to fall, to land, or to happen. With the prefix مَـ that marks a place, the noun names the spot where something falls or occurs. From there it widened to any location, site, or position, and in the digital age to a website.
