Etymology
مِنْحَة comes from the Semitic root م ن ح (m-n-ḥ), which carries the sense of giving or bestowing. The root produces the verb مَنَحَ ("to grant") and the noun منحة, which names the thing granted, whether money, land, or a scholarship. The same root survives in other Semitic languages with a closely related sense of a gift or offering.
