Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root gh-f-l, which carries the sense of heedlessness and inattention. The base verb غَفَلَ means to be unaware or negligent. The causative form IV verb أَغْفَلَ means to neglect or leave out, and مُغْفَل is its passive participle: something that has been overlooked or omitted.
