Etymology
مُحْزِن comes from the Arabic root ح-ز-ن (ḥ-z-n), which carries the sense of grief and sorrow. The base verb حَزَنَ means to grieve or feel sad. The causative Form IV verb أَحْزَنَ means to make someone sad, and مُحْزِن is its active participle: something or someone that produces sadness in others.
