Arabic

Etymology

Ultimately from the root ع ي ل (ʕ-y-l). The verb عَالَ (ʕāla) may be conjugated as deriving from ع و ل (ʕ-w-l) (whence عَوْل (ʕawl) and عَوِيل (ʕawīl)) or ع ي ل (ʕ-y-l) (whence عَيْل (ʕayl), عِيَالَة (ʕiyāla), عُيُول (ʕuyūl), and مَعِيل (maʕīl)). Hence, though distinct conjugations (or "roots") typically have different significations, the "needfulness" sense has been conflated.
