=== Etymology ===
The word ''{{transliteration|ar|ALA|madrasah}}'' derives from the triconsonantal [[Semitic root]] د-ر-س ''D-R-S'' 'to learn, study', using the ''wazn'' ([[Morphology (linguistics)|morphological]] form or template) {{lang|ar|مفعل(ة)}}; {{transliteration|ar|ALA|mafʻal(ah)}}, meaning "a place where something is done". Thus, ''{{transliteration|ar|ALA|madrasah}}'' literally means "a place where learning and studying take place" or "place of study".<ref>{{Cite web|title=madrasah - Origin and meaning of madrasah |url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/madrasah|access-date=2020-08-13|website=Online Etymology Dictionary |language=en|archive-date=2020-08-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200813174629/https://www.etymonline.com/word/madrasah|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":5" /> The word is also present as a [[loanword]] with the same general meaning in many Arabic-influenced languages, such as: [[Urdu]], [[Pashto]], [[Balochi language|Baluchi]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Turkish language|Turkish]], [[Azerbaijani language|Azeri]], [[Kurdish languages|Kurdish]], [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]], [[Somali language|Somali]] and [[Bosnian language|Bosnian]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hassim|first=E.|title=International Encyclopedia of Civil Society|publisher=Springer|year=2020|editor-last=List|editor-first=Regina A.|chapter=Madrassa|editor-last2=Anheier|editor-first2=Helmut K.|editor-last3=Toepler|editor-first3=Stefan}}</ref>
