Etymology
The word is the active participle of the Form IV verb أَقْرَفَ, meaning to cause disgust. It derives from the Arabic triliteral root ق-ر-ف (q-r-f), which carries the sense of peeling, scab, and by extension filth and revulsion. The related noun قَرَف means disgust or nausea. The participle pattern مُفْعِل marks the agent that causes the action, so مُقْرِف is the thing that disgusts.
