Muted

/ˈmjuːtɪd/

म्यूट; दबी हुई/कम तीव्र; (आवाज़) बंद

Origin & History

From the verb mute (to silence), ultimately from Latin mutus meaning 'silent, speechless'; the sense 'subdued' developed from the idea of reduced sound/intensity.

यह शब्द 'mute' (आवाज़ बंद करना/चुप करना) से बना है, जिसकी जड़ लैटिन 'mutus' (अर्थ: 'मौन, गूंगा/वाणीहीन') में है; 'दबा हुआ/कम तीव्र' वाला अर्थ कम आवाज़/कम तीव्रता की धारणा से विकसित हुआ।

Definition

Muted describes something intentionally or naturally made less strong—such as a quiet sound, a dull color, or a restrained reaction; it can also mean a phone/microphone is set so no sound is transmitted.

'Muted' का अर्थ है किसी चीज़ की तीव्रता कम होना या जानबूझकर कम कर देना—जैसे धीमी आवाज़, फीका/दबा हुआ रंग, या संयमित प्रतिक्रिया; यह यह भी दर्शाता है कि फोन/माइक्रोफ़ोन को इस तरह सेट किया गया है कि आवाज़ नहीं जाएगी।
