How the two words are related

Shifted meaning

Same root as a Hebrew word, but the meaning drifted over the centuries.

Arabic root

خ-ر-ج

Hebrew root

ח-ר-ג

Form V masdar of the same root as this app's 'go out' entry (خَرَجَ/חרג, خ-ر-ج): takharruj is literally 'an exiting' — you graduate by 'exiting' your studies, degree in hand. Hebrew חרג narrowed the root to 'step outside the norm' (חריג, 'exceptional'), so the echo is in the root's logic, not a matching graduation-word.
