Etymology
مِهْنِيّ comes from the triliteral root م-ه-ن, the same root behind مِهْنَة (profession, trade, occupation). Classical Arabic mahana meant to serve or to be skilled at a task one performs regularly. Adding the nisba suffix -iyy to مِهْنَة turns the noun into an adjective meaning of or relating to a profession. Arabic is a Semitic language, so it has no Proto-Indo-European root.
