"عيلة" meaning in Arabic

See عيلة in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ʕaj.la/
Etymology: Ultimately from the root ع ي ل (ʕ y l). The verb عَالَ (ʕāla) may be conjugated as deriving from ع و ل (ʕ w l) (whence عَوْل (ʕawl) and عَوِيل (ʕawīl)) or ع ي ل (ʕ y l) (whence عَيْل (ʕayl), عِيَالَة (ʕiyāla), عُيُول (ʕuyūl), and مَعِيل (maʕīl)). Hence, though distinct conjugations (or "roots") typically have different significations, the "needfulness" sense has been conflated.
