Etymology
نُسْخَة comes from the triliteral root ن-س-خ, whose verb نَسَخَ means to transcribe or copy, and also to abrogate. It follows the فُعْلَة pattern that names a single instance or result, so it denotes one copy made from an original. From Arabic the word passed into Persian, Turkish (nüsha), and Urdu. It belongs to a common Semitic root family.
