Etymology
The word comes from the Arabic root kh-l-s, which carries the core sense of purity and being free of admixture. The Form IV verb akhlasa means to make something pure or to devote it fully. Mukhlis is the active participle of that verb, so it describes a person whose intention or loyalty has been purified of ulterior motive.
