Words have been created in a linguistic background with a regional, native or transnational origin in Arabic language and Islamic civilization and within the format of valuable human content. Every word and phrase features its own distinctive history and origin in respect to the other words. In the linguistic texture of the Islamic culture and civilization, words have robust cultural roots. The investigation of the vernacular origin of the fundamental word and expression “Misdemeanor” based on phonemic processes in terms of deletion and addition of phonemes is intended herein within the Iranian-Islamic culture as well as before the advent of Islam. The present article deals with the native origin of the fundamental term “Misdemeanor” as employed by the Islamic interpreters and the precedent and contemporary lexicologists. In regard of elision, the semantic root of the word has undergone semantic omission and addition as evidenced in a linguistic study of the stages of its semantic transfer from Indo-European languages to Semitic language. The present article investigates the phonological, inflectional, phonemic and semantic elisions the Quranic term “Misdemeanor” has undergone according to the importance of the nature and the semantic domain of sin in the fundamental Islamic beliefs.
