Etymology
Wuṣūl is the verbal noun of the Arabic verb waṣala, meaning to arrive or to connect. It comes from the Semitic root w-ṣ-l, which carries the sense of joining and reaching. The same root gives Arabic its words for connection, communication, and ties between people. In modern use, wuṣūl most often names the arrival of a person, vehicle, or shipment.
