Most every Hebrew word has a root, which is set of 3 consonants. (Some roots have 4, and a few foreign roots have 5.)The root is the building block of the Hebrew language. It is the same in Arabic.

In Hebrew language studies, a root word refers to the core form of a word from which other related words are derived through the addition of prefixes, suffixes, or vowel changes. Each root word typically consists of three consonants that convey the basic meaning of the word family.
