Origin

Arabic The term is derived from the root f-y-d (ف ي د), which conveys meanings such as "to benefit" or "to be in a state of abundance and increase," and is taken from the word mustafīd (مستفيد), meaning "one who benefits" or "one who gains advantage." The word is formed as the active participle of the tenth verb form (istif'āl) of the verb fāda (فَادَ), meaning "to benefit."
