Etymology
The word comes from the triliteral Semitic root خ-ب-ر, which carries the sense of knowing, testing, and experience. It is the place noun of the Form VIII verb اِخْتَبَرَ, to test or examine. So the literal meaning is the place where things are tested. The same root gives خَبِير, an expert, and خَبَر, a piece of news.
