Etymology
The verb comes from the Semitic triliteral root n-q-l, carrying the core sense of carrying or shifting something to another place. From this root Arabic builds a wide family of words for transport, relocation, and transmission. The meaning later extended from physical moving to conveying speech, reports, and knowledge.
