Etymology

Fatah-RC begins with Fatah, from an Arabic root meaning 'to open' or 'conquer', and the RC part is an English abbreviation often meaning 'Revolutionary Council'. So the name reads as Fatah plus a group label, which helps explain why it was used for a separate militant branch that split from the PLO.
