Etymology
The word is the active participle of the Form VIII verb اِمْتازَ, meaning to be distinguished or to stand out. It is built on the triliteral root م-ي-ز, which carries the sense of separating or telling apart. Form VIII inserts a -t- after the first radical, and the weak middle radical surfaces here as a long ā.
