Etymology

مُدَرِّس comes from the Arabic triliteral root د-ر-س (d-r-s), which relates to study and repeated review of a text. The verb دَرَّسَ is the intensive Form II of this root and means to teach, in the sense of making someone go over material repeatedly. مُدَرِّس is the active participle of that verb, so it literally means one who makes others study, that is, a teacher. The word is native Arabic, not a loan from another language family.
