This is the 5068th most frequent Arabic word.
المقصود
"The intended" or "the meant."
Here, 'المقصود' means 'the meaning intended or implied' in the related context, focusing on interpreting the statement.
ما هو المقصود من هذه العبارة؟
What is the meaning intended by this phrase?
In this form, 'المقصود' refers to a specified person who is the target or intended recipient of an action or message.
الشخص المقصود في تلك الرسالة لم يفهمها.
The individual intended in that message did not understand it.
Even though here the explicit word 'المقصود' is derived as 'القصد', it signifies the central intent or aim behind an action. Highlighting 'المقصود' shares roots in defining purposes.
