How the two words are related
New word
No Hebrew relative — learn it fresh.
Arabic root
م-ر-نNo Hebrew relative for م-ر-ن, 'to practice, become skilled' — but note the irony: Hebrew's own תרגיל comes from an unrelated root, ר-ג-ל, 'foot' (compare רגיל, 'accustomed', and מרגיל, 'to make a habit of' — the image of walking a path until it becomes routine).
