İktizâ has entered Turkish from the Arabic word iḳtiḍāʾ (اقتضاء), which derives from the root ḳḍy (قضي). This term is the masdar form in the iftiʿāl pattern of the verb ḳaḍā, meaning “to rule, to require, to necessitate”.

• Law: Used to express the rulings or requirements necessitated by a given situation.
• Administration and Public Governance: Used to denote the necessities arising from decisions or practices.
• Literature: Preferred to describe the requirements that naturally result from an event or situation in texts.
• Everyday Language: Used in the sense of “necessity” to express conditions that demand a particular outcome.
