Noun

Etymology: The "grammar" sense, according to a report, is derived from ʿAlī telling ʾAbu al-ʾAswad ad-Duʾali, who is believed to be the first Arabic grammarian: «مَا أَحْسَنَ هٰذَا النَّحْوَ الَّذِي نَحَوْتَ» (“mā ʔaḥsana hāḏā an-naḥwa allaḏī naḥawta”, “How wonderful this direction (naḥw) that you have followed is”) after he showed ʿAlī the grammar he had organized.
