زَكَاة (noun)
Etymology: Normalized spelling of earlier زَكَوٰة (zakāh), from Aramaic זכותא / ܙܟܘܬܐ (zākūṯā) otherwise attested in the senses of “merit”, “gain; victory” from base stem זכי (zəḵē, “to overcome; to triumph over; to gain”) but not in the sense of “alms”, however in the geminate stem in Jewish Palestinian Aramaic זכי (zakkē) also as “to give possession”, “to give merit” and ultimately “to give charity”. Likewise the noun is not attested but can be inferred from Arabic to have borne in Aramaic the sense of “purity or purification from guilt” as in Palestinian Aramaic the base and geminate stems meant “to be innocent” and “to judge innocent” respectively.
The Arabic root ز ك و (z k w) is in part from this noun.
