How it is used

Fiṭra comes from faṭara in its sense 'to create, bring into being for the first time', so it denotes the original nature a person is formed with — not the physical 'split/crack' sense the same root also carries. It is a different derivation from fuṭūr 'breakfast', which comes from the root's fast-breaking branch (afṭara).

فَطَرَ to split, cleave, crack; also to create or originate something anew
أَفْطَرَ to break one's fast, to eat and drink after fasting
