Etymology
From the Arabic root ج-ح-ظ (j-ḥ-ẓ, 'protruding eyes'). Al-Jahiz was a celebrated 9th-century Arab prose writer and polymath known for his wit and wide-ranging scholarship.
Notable Historical Usage
Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
