How it is used
The root's basic verb أَكَلَ means simply 'he ate it,' with أَكْلٌ as the verbal noun for the act of eating. أُكُل instead names the result — the fruit or produce that is eaten — and the root also extends tropically to 'devouring' in a broader sense (fire consuming wood, wealth being consumed, even backbiting described as 'eating a brother's flesh').
Words from the same root
- أَكَلَ he ate it (basic verb, form I)
- أَكَّلَ he fed someone, gave them to eat (form II)
- اِيتَكَلَ it became corroded or decayed, eaten away part by part (form VIII, of a limb or sore)
- أَكَلٌ wasting or wearing away (e.g. of teeth rubbing down with age)
- إِكْلَةٌ an itching (tropical sense, as in 'my head itched')
- أَكَالٌ itching (variant noun, also used of an animal's belly itch)
