Etymology
The word is the passive participle of the form II verb حَدَّد, meaning to delimit or specify. Both derive from the triliteral root ح-د-د, which carries the sense of an edge, limit, or boundary. The base noun حَدّ means a limit or border. To make something مُحَدَّد is to set its limits, hence to fix or specify it.
