aMüptela has entered Turkish from the Arabic word mubtalā (مبتلا), which derives from the Arabic root blw. This word originates from the Arabic verb balā, meaning “to test,” “to try,” or “to afflict with hardship.” The fundamental meaning of the word is “attached to something” or “subject to a particular condition.” Over time in Turkish, it became especially common in contexts indicating habit, illness, love, and addiction.
