Arabic vocabulary
مَوْضُوعًا is how you say “rooted” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
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.
