Etymology
The word is the active participle of the Form IV verb أَدْمَنَ, meaning to persist in something or become addicted to it. The verb derives from the triliteral root د-م-ن, which carries the sense of continuing or sticking to a thing. So a مُدْمِن is literally one who keeps at something without stopping.
