===Etymology===
The form is the regularly expected outcome of {{inh|mt|ar|أَدَّى|t=to lead, guide}}, from which the sense can be derived through the idea of a celestial body or lantern which guides the way. Reinforcing semantic influence by {{m|ar|أَضاءَ|t=to shine}} may be assumed. Alternatively, a derivation directly from the last-mentioned verb is also possible, but it requires two irregular phonetic developments. Firstly the second radical must have been restored as a consonant, yielding {{m|ar||*أَضْوَأَ}}, {{m|ar||يُضْوِئُ}}, and then the cluster ''-dw-'' must have been assimilated to ''-dd-''.

A suppletive formation: The third-person forms of the perfect are from {{inh|mt|ar|قَالَ|t=to say}}; all other forms are from {{m|ar|أَعَادَ|t=to repeat, say repeatedly}}.
The use of the latter verb in the imperfect tense is somewhat understandable, because one will more often mention the fact that someone says something repeatedly or generally, rather than that they are saying something right now (though, of course, the imperfect is also used for the future). More surprising is perhaps that {{m|ar||أَعادَ}} also conquered the first and second persons of the perfect. This, in turn, could be due to a parallelism with other verbs with a long stem vowel (“hollow roots”), where these forms are phonetically closer to the imperfect than to the third person (cf. {{m|mt|sab}}, {{m|mt|sibt}}, {{m|mt|isib}}, or {{m|mt|kien}}, {{m|mt|kont}}, {{m|mt|ikun}}).

From {{inh|mt|ar|حاجة|t=need, necessity}}. The sense “thing” is present in many Arabic dialects, including all African ones. It originated as a generalization of “necessity” in the sense of “thing needed for some purpose”. Some of those dialects make a distinction in the plural between {{m|ar|حاجَات|t=things}} and {{m|ar|حَوائِج|t=clothes}}, but in Maltese the broken form is used for both senses.

From {{inh|mt|ar|بَقِيَ}}. The final root letter {{m|mt|għ}} was added by analogy: When {{m|mt||għ}} began to be vowelised, the paradigm generally remained distinct from the paradigm of actual vocalic verbs on the basis of vowel colour; compare {{m|mt|smajt|t=I heard}} from {{m|mt|sama'}}, {{m+|ar|سَمِعَ}}, versus {{m|mt|bdejt|t=I began}}, from {{m|mt|beda}}, {{m+|ar|بَدَأَ}}. However, in the verb {{m|mt|baqa'}} the vowel colour had been influenced by the preceding {{m|mt|q}} ({{m|mt||bqajt}}), and thus was it eventually integrated into the ''għ''-class.

Probably from {{inh|mt|ar|غِلّ}}. Merger of {{m|ar|غ|tr=-}} {{IPAchar|}} and {{m|ar|ق|tr=-}} {{IPAchar|}} occurs regularly in some dialects of the Arabian penninsula and sometimes also in Sudan. While Maltese is generally not affected by this development, it was assisted here by the fact that the root {{ar-root|ق ل ل|nocat=1}} has some related senses. In particular, the meaning “to be seized by anger” is attested for {{m|ar|أُقِلَّ}}, passive of {{m|ar|أَقَلَّ}}.

The basic sense of the Maltese root is “being weak, feeble, deprived”, which is most readily derived from {{der|mt|ar|عَجْز}} and its root; compare {{m|mt|għaks|t=oppression, destitution, famine}}. Phonetically this is plausible since {{m+|ar|ج}} becomes Maltese ''g'' in several words, especially in the vicinity of sibilants (compare {{m|mt|gżira}}). Word-finally the sequence {{IPAchar|}} is devoiced to {{IPAchar|}} and this devoicing may have been generalised (equally a common phenomenon). On the other hand, the phonetically even closer {{m+|ar|عَكَسَ}} also shows meanings that are connectable with the Maltese form, namely “to tie a camel's neck to its forelegs”, “to let it starve in this position”, “to press to the ground”, “to prevent, restrain”. Presumably, both roots influenced each other.

The underlying form is probably {{m|ar|مَرْحَلة}} or {{m|ar||*مِرْحَلة}}, though the formation would seem to be independent from the Arabic word meaning “day’s journey, stretch”. It could also be {{m|ar|مُرْحَلة}} or {{m|ar|مُرْحِلة}}; compare {{m|ar|أَرْحَلَ|t=to have many camels; to train a camel; to become fat }}.

From {{inh|mt|ar|سَخِطَ|t=to be indignant, to resent}}. Compare {{cog|aeb|سخطة|tr=saḵṭa|t=a curse}}. The verb was used in Classical Arabic in phrases like {{m|ar|] ] ] ]|lit=may God be indignant at you for that}}. Accordingly, the subject must originally have been God, but it was then also used of the person who called down the curse on another.

Probably a backformation from {{m|mt|kburija|t=pride}}, itself probably an alteration of {{der|mt|ar|كِبْرِياء}} after the common Maltese measure for abstract nouns (or otherwise an independent derivation from {{m|mt|kbir}} with this measure).
