maḥsūb مَحْسوب , pl. ‑ūn, maḥāsībᵘ 
ID … • Sw – • BP … • APD … • © SG | 15Feb2021
√ḤSB 
adj. 
1 pet, favorite; 2 obedient, subservient (ʕalà to s.o.) – WehrCowan1976. 
▪ The value ʻpet, favorite’ is prob. orig. *‘held in high esteem’, maḥsūb being a PP I formed from ↗ḥasiba ʻto respect’ (rather than from ↗ḥasuba, as the latter is intr. and cannot have a PP). The meaning ʻobedient, subservient’ is secondary, expressing the perspective of the object that is held in high esteem with regard to the subject who does so.

►maḥsūbiyyaẗ, n.f., 1 esteem enjoyed by s.o., position of distinction; 2 patronage, favored position, favouritism: abstr. formation in ‑iyyaẗ.
