Etymology
مِيزَة comes from the Arabic root م-ي-ز (m-y-z), which carries the sense of setting one thing apart from another. The related verb مَيَّزَ means to distinguish or differentiate. مِيزَة takes the noun pattern فِعْلَة, which often names a single instance or concrete result of an action, here a specific trait that marks something as distinct. Arabic is a Semitic language, so it has no Indo-European root.
