Mebzul

Origin

Mebzul is a word of Arabic origin. It derives from the Arabic verb baḏala, meaning “to give generously” or “to bestow abundantly,” forming the noun mabḏūl. Initially, this term conveyed the meanings “scattered” or “bestowed abundantly,” but over time in Turkish it came to be used to mean “plentiful” or “abundant.”

Areas of Use
