Derived Arabic Nouns Used in Urdu (A Root-Based Analysis)

Abstract

In Arabic, the root of any word is called (Root). It usually consists of three or four letters. By applying various patterns to a root, multiple words can be derived, each carrying a different meaning. The root refers to the essential letters that are common among all the words in a specific word family. The pattern is the mold or template in which the root is placed to form different words. In the science of Arabic morphology, root and pattern are fundamental concepts used to create, modify, and differentiate the meanings of words.
