Its root in the classical dictionaries
أصل المثول: الانتصاب، والممثل:
قوله تعالى: ﴿إن الله لا يستحي أن يضرب مثلا ما بعوضة فما فوقها﴾ [البقرة: 26] الآية. المثل هو القول السائر وفق الحال التي ضرب لها، ولابد فيه من غرابة لما أنزل الله: ﴿لن يخلقوا ذبابا﴾ [الحج: 73] ﴿لبيت العنكبوت﴾ [العنكبوت: 41] قالت اليهود: إن الله أجل أن يتكلم بهذا فنزلت.
