√ZǦː (ZǦǦ) 
adj. 
having beautifully arched eyebrows – WehrCowan1979. 
Of unknown etymology. 
▪ … 
▪ DRS 8 (1999)#ZGG-4 : zaǧǧa ‘être fin, allongé (sourcil)’, EgAr zaggig ‘se faire les sourcils (au crayon)’. 
▪ The adj. is an elative formation (for colours, handicaps, etc.) from an otherwise lost basis.
▪ ClassAr still knows the (denom?) vb. I, †zaǧǧa (zaǧiǧ-) (a, zaǧaǧ), and vb. VIII, †ĭzdaǧǧa, both meaning ‘to be thin and arched (eyebrows)’ (Hava1899). – In ClassAr, the corresponding vb. II, zaǧǧaǧa, would not only mean ‘to pencil the eyebrows’ but still also ‘to level (a place)’ (Hava1899), figurative/extended use of *‘to clip the redundant portions of the hair or the eyebrows’. The etymology of the value itself remains obscure so far.
 
– 
► zaǧǧaǧa, vb. II, 1 to pencil | ~al-ḥaǧibayn, expr., to pencil the eyebrows; 2 see ↗zuǧāǧ.

For other values of the root, cf. ↗zuǧǧ, ↗zaǧǧa, ↗zuǧāǧ, and (for the general picture) ↗ZǦː (ZǦǦ).
