Etymology
The word is the verbal noun of the Form III verb ناقَشَ (nāqasha), "to discuss or debate." It is built on the Semitic root ن-ق-ش (n-q-sh), whose base sense is engraving or scratching into a surface. The link to argument runs through the idea of close scrutiny: to debate a point is to pick at it and examine it in detail.
