Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic triliteral root م-ت-ع (m-t-ʕ), which carries the sense of enjoyment, benefit, and provision. مُمْتِع is the active participle of the Form IV verb أَمْتَعَ, meaning to give pleasure. So the adjective marks something that produces enjoyment in the person who experiences it. Related nouns from the same root include مُتْعة, pleasure, and مَتاع, goods.
