Its root in the classical dictionaries

الكسب: ما يتحراه الإنسان مما فيه اجتلاب نفع، وتحصيل حظ، ككسب المال، وقد يستعمل فيما يظن الإنسان أنه يجلب منفعة، ثم استجلب به مضرة. والكسب يقال فيما أخذه لنفسه ولغيره، ولهذا قد يتعدى إلى مفعولين، فيقال: كسبت فلانا كذا، والاكتساب لا يقال إلا فيما استفدته لنفسك، فكل اكتساب كسب، وليس كل كسب اكتسابا، وذلك نحو: خبز واختبز،…
