The verb Arabic أَسَّسَ (ʔassasa) and its reflexive Arabic تَأَسَّسَ (taʔassasa) are likely denominals of this noun, itself likely also borrowed wholly or semantically from the Aramaic.
Compare the verbs Arabic شَيَّدَ (šayyada, “to establish firmly, build high”) and Hebrew שָׁת (šāṯ, “to place, lay down, put down”), as well as Arabic شَدَّ (šadda, “to strengthen, make firm, make strong”).
