Etymology
مُتَّسِع is the active participle of the Form VIII verb اتَّسَعَ (ittasaʿa, "to become wide"), built on the triliteral Semitic root و-س-ع, whose core sense is wideness and capacity. The root's initial و assimilates into the infixed ت of Form VIII, which produces the doubled consonant seen in اتّسع and its participle مُتَّسِع. The same root also gives the common adjective واسِع (wide, vast) and the noun سَعَة (spaciousness, means).
