Etymology
مغامرة comes from the Arabic root غ-م-ر (gh-m-r), whose base sense is flood, deep water, or immersion. The Form III verb غامر (ghāmara) means to risk or venture, as if plunging into deep water without knowing what lies beneath. مغامرة is the verbal noun (maṣdar) of that verb, so it denotes the act of venturing or risking, which in everyday use became adventure.
