Etymology 2

Root
خ ط ء (ḵ-ṭ-ʔ)

Kazimirski and Lane considered this word to be an alternative (irregular) verbal noun of the verb أَخْطَأَ (ʔaḵṭaʔa). Quoting Penrice's definition of أَخْطَأَ (ʔaḵṭaʔa):

خَاطِئَةٌ said to be a v.a. Habitual sinfulness; or it may be regarded as the fem. of خَاطِئٌ and agree with ٱلأَفْعَالِ understood, as at 69, v. 9. Note: the ة is not unfrequently added to nouns to give intensity; [...].

Noun

خَاطِئَة • (ḵāṭiʔa) f (plural خَاطِئَات (ḵāṭiʔāt))

1. sin, sinfulness
   • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 69:9:

     وَجَاءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَنْ قَبْلَهُ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَاتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ

     wajāʔa firʕawnu waman qablahu wal-muʔtafikātu bi-l-ḵāṭiʔati
