Arabic

Etymology

From Classical Syriac ܐܦܬܝ (ʾap̄tī, to expand; to propagate (orthodoxy)), which is a causative to Proto-West Semitic *pataw- (to penetrate), perhaps also encompassing idioms such as Akkadian 𒊻𒉆 𒉿𒌅𒌑𒌝 (uznam petûm), 𒊻𒉆 𒁍𒌓𒌅𒌝 (uznam puttûm, literally to open an ear), from the related *pataḥ- (to open), so it would be equivalent to Arabic فَتَحَ أُذْنًا (fataḥa ʔuḏnan).

The corresponding noun فَتْوَى (fatwā, formal opinion) has its patterning reflecting Classical Syriac ܦܬܘܐ (peṯwā, spinning out, breadth (of words)).
