Etymology
From Proto-Semitic *wadaʕ- attested in every corner of the Semitic language area with the meaning “to know”, apparently with desert-specific meaning specialization in Arabic of a thing being “left” somewhere being equated with remembering and “knowing” where it is. The sea-shell is also so called due to being “left over” by nature or placed on amulets; supposedly دَعَا (daʕā, “to call”) is from the current imperative usage.
