Full Definition
مَرْهُونٌ
[Pledged; deposited as a pledge; or] restricted, or placed in custody, for, or by reason of, a debt; originally مَرْهُونٌ بِالدَّيْنِ [or بِدَيْنٍ]; and
رَهِينٌ signifies the same; and the fem. of this [or rather the subst. formed from it, for when it is used as a fem. epithet, having the sense of a pass. part. n., it is without ة, as remarked above, voce رَهْنٌ,] is رَهِينَةٌ. الأُمُورُ مَرْهُونَةٌ بِأَوْقَاتِهَا is expl. by مَكْفُولَةٌ [app. meaning Events are guaranteed, or pledged, for their times, to which they are limited by the decrees of God]. See also رَهْنٌ.
