مُقْتَنِعconvincedEtymology
مُقْنِع is the active participle of the Form IV verb أَقْنَعَ (aqnaʿa), "to convince." It rests on the triliteral root ق-ن-ع (q-n-ʕ), whose base sense is contentment, as in the plain verb قَنِعَ (qaniʿa), "to be content." Form IV adds a causative layer: to make someone content with a claim, hence "to convince." The prefix مُ- marks the one performing the action, so the word reads literally as "one who convinces" or "convincing."
