Etymology
نَشَأ comes from the triliteral Semitic root ن-ش-أ, which carries the sense of coming into existence or rising up. Classical dictionaries link it to the image of something taking shape and beginning to grow, whether a person, a custom, or a state of affairs. Arabic is a Semitic language, not an Indo-European one, so it has no Proto-Indo-European root.
