Its root in the classical dictionaries

قوله تعالى: ﴿إنا كنا فاعلين﴾ [الأنبياء:104] أي قادرين. فالفعل يعبر به عن القدرة على الشيء. قوله: ﴿والذين هم للزكاة فاعلون﴾ [المؤمنون:4] أي غير مضيعين لها موفون بها.

عمدة الحفاظ في تفسير أشرف الألفاظ — السمين الحلبي

الفاء العين واللام أصل صحيح يدل على إحداث شيء من عمل وغيره. من ذلك: فعلت كذا أفعله فعلا. وكانت من فلان فعلة حسنة أو قبيحة. والفعال جمع فعل. والفعال، بفتح الفاء: الكرم وما يفعل من حسن.
