Abstract

This article analyzes the phenomenon of ishtiqoq (etymological derivation) in Arabic linguistics based on Abu Ya’qub al-Sakkaki’s seminal work, Miftah al-Ulum. The study examines morphological patterns of word formation and the relationship between root and derived forms through the prism of Sakkaki’s unique scientific methodology. Furthermore, the paper elucidates the fundamental perspectives and scholarly debates between the Basra and Kufa schools of linguistics regarding the origins of derivation.
