Word family
Etymology
نَجاح is the verbal noun of the verb نَجَحَ, meaning to succeed. It comes from the Semitic triconsonantal root ن-ج-ح, which carries the sense of reaching a goal. The word follows the faʿāl pattern that forms many Arabic verbal nouns. No Indo-European source is involved, since Arabic belongs to the Semitic family.
