مَوْضُوعًاrooted

Example sentences

• وَمَا كَانَ مَوْضُوعًا فِي أَصْلِ الْجَوْهَرِ،

  and whatever is rooted in the very essence,

  مَوْضُوعًا — rooted. This is a passive participle, naming the thing as having had the action done TO it rather than performing it, like English 'placed/rooted'. It stands as the predicate of the preceding 'was', so it carries the accusative ending that verb demands. Together they say something was put in place, with no doer named.
