Etymology
Mufaḍḍal is the passive participle of the Form II verb faḍḍala, to prefer or favor. Both come from the triliteral Semitic root f-ḍ-l, which carries the senses of grace, merit, and surplus. The base noun faḍl means favor or merit. So the adjective names a thing that has been favored above others.
