youth
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; masculine singular; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to shake, stir, rouse," suggesting the vitality and activity associated with early life. As a masculine singular absolute noun, "youth" preserves both the gender and singular form while reflecting the core idea of a young male in an active stage of life. |
