Etymology: نُقود is plural of نَقْد "money, cash" from verb نَقَدَ "pay in coin". مِفْتَاح is a tool noun of the مِفْعَال pattern derived from فَتَحَ "to open", مَفْتوح "open, opened". By semantic extension فتح means "to conquer" thus فاتِح "conqueror", compare the Osman Sultan's honourific name Mehmed II. Fatih, who conquered Constantinople.
