Etymology
The word derives from the triliteral Semitic root ف-ت-ش (f-t-sh), which carries the sense of searching and examining. It is the Form II active participle of the verb فَتَّشَ (to search, to inspect), so it names the person who does the searching. The doubled middle radical marks the intensive or repeated action typical of this pattern.
