Etymology
مُقَيَّد comes from the triliteral Semitic root ق-ي-د (q-y-d), whose core sense is binding or fettering. The verb قَيَّدَ (qayyada, Form II, 'to bind, restrict, register') gives this word as its passive participle, meaning 'that which has been bound or restricted'. The same root produces قَيْد (qayd), the everyday noun for a fetter, chain, or restriction. Arabic morphology builds a whole family of related meanings from this one three-consonant root by changing vowels and adding affixes.
