Etymology
The word is the Form VII active participle of the triliteral root خ-ف-ض (kh-f-ḍ), which carries the sense of lowering or bringing down. The base verb خَفَضَ means to lower, and the derived verb اِنْخَفَضَ means to become low or to drop. The participle مُنْخَفِض thus describes something that has gone low or stands low.
