Etymology
مُخرِج is the active participle of the Form IV verb أَخْرَجَ, meaning to bring something out or cause it to emerge. Form IV in Arabic adds a causative sense to the base root, so مُخرِج literally denotes someone who makes something come out. In modern usage this settled on the person who brings a script, actors, and a set into a finished film or play: the director.
