Etymology
The word comes from the Form VIII verb اتّجه (ittajaha), meaning to turn oneself toward or head in a direction. That verb is built on the Semitic root و-ج-ه, which underlies وجه (face) and جهة (side, direction). مُتَّجِه is the active participle of this verb, so it literally names the one doing the facing or heading.
