Arabic vocabulary
مكسور is how you say “broken” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فالمدفوق الذي وقع عليه فعلك كالمكسور والمضروب
So "madfuq" is that which your action falls upon, like "maksur" (broken) and "madrub" (struck).
كَالْمَكْسُورِ — like 'maksur'. A preposition ka- (like) fused onto a passive participle made definite by al-, 'like the broken one'. The ka- draws a comparison and forces the genitive; the participle is another maf'ul-pattern 'done-to' noun, here 'that which has been broken'.
