/me.se.laː/

Etîmolojî

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish مثلا (mesela), derived from Arabic مَثَلاً (maṯalan, “for example”), adverbial accusative of مَثَل (maṯal, “example”), with loss of the nunation, resulting in mesela instead of expected *meselen, with pronunciation of final /aː/ instead of /en/ (compare Turkish evvela, for Arabic أَوَّلًا (ʔawwalan), or mutlaka, for Arabic مُطْلَقًا (muṭlaqan)). By surface analysis, mesel (“example”) + -an (adverbial suffix).
