Etymology

The word comes from the Arabic root و-ج-ه (w-j-h), which carries the core sense of 'face' or 'direction'. The Form II verb وجّه means 'to turn something toward, to direct'. مُوَجَّه is the passive participle of that verb, so it literally describes something that has been turned or pointed toward a goal.
