Its root in the classical dictionaries
وبة عن الاقتفاء فيما قيل، نحو:
قوله تعالى: ﴿حتى إذا أقلت سحابا ثقالا﴾ [الأعراف: 57] أي حملت. يقال: أقل الرجل الشيء يقله إقلالا: إذا حمله، ومنه القلة لأن الرجل يقلها بيديه أي يحملها، والمعنى أن الرياح رفعت السحاب بتسخير الله تعالى. وفي الحديث: "كقلال هجر" القلال جمع قلة وهي جرة تعمل بهذا المكان، وهو قريب من المدينة.
