Etymology
مَرْئِيّ is the passive participle of the verb رأى, meaning to see, built on the ancient Semitic root ر-أ-ي. The root covers sight and perception across Semitic languages, not just Arabic. Because the root's final letter is a weak consonant, the standard passive-participle pattern مفعول shifts in spelling to مرئي, though the logic stays the same: something that is seen.
