غيض

1 غَاضَ  , aor. يَغِيضُ, inf. n. غَيْضٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and مَغَاضٌ (Msb, K) and مَغِيضٌ, (TA,) It (water) became scanty, or little in quantity, and sank into the earth, or disappeared in the earth: (S, and so in some copies of the K:) or became scanty, or little in quantity, and decreased, or diminished, or became deficient: (A, and so in some copies of the K:) or sank into the earth, and went away: (TA:) or went away into the earth; (Msb;) [contr. of فَاضَ, aor. يَفِيضُ;] as also ↓ انغاض , (S, K,) which is of the dial. of El- Hijáz. (TA.) ― -b2- It (a thing, Msb, a flow of milk, TA, and (assumed tropical:) the price of a commodity, S, Msb, K) decreased, or diminished, or became deficient. (S, Msb, K.) ― -b3- وَمَا تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ, (S, * K, * TA,) in the Kur [xiii. 9], (S,) means And the wombs' falling short [of completion or of what is usual], (Akh, S, Bd,) and their exceeding [therein], in respect of the body [of the fœtus], and the period of gestation, and the number borne: (Bd:) or, as some say, in respect of the menstrual blood: (Bd:) or the wombs' falling short of the nine months (Zj, O, L, and so in copies of the K, but in others seven months,) of gestation, and their exceeding the nine [or seven] months: (Zj, O, L:) or the wombs' falling short of completion, so that the fœtus dies, and their exceeding so that the gestation becomes complete: and accord. to this explanation, the reading of seven months in the K may be correct: see also Katádeh's explanation of غَيْضٌ, below, which favours this reading. (TA.) ― -b4- You say also, غَاضَ الكِرَامُ وَفَاضَ اللِّئَامُ (S, A) (tropical:) The generous became few, (S, TA,) and failed, or perished, (TA,) and the mean became many. (S.) -A2- غَاضَهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. as above, inf. n. غَيْضٌ, (TA,) He (God, S, Msb) made it (i. e. water) to become scanty, or little in quantity, and to sink into the earth, or disappear in the earth: (S:) or made it to decrease, or diminish, or become deficient: (K:) or made it to go away into the earth: (Msb:) and ↓ اغاضهُ signifies the same; (S, A, K;) and so does ↓ غيّضهُ , inf. n. تَغْيِيضٌ: (TA:) thus the first of these verbs is trans. as well as intrans. (S.) [It is said in the Kur xi. 46,] وَغِيضَ الْمَآءُ (S, A) And the water was made to become scanty, &c.: (S:) or was made to decrease, or diminish. (A, * Bd.) And hence the saying of 'Áïsheh, describing her father, وَغَاضَ نَبْعَ الرِّدَّةِ (assumed tropical:) And he did away with what appeared of apostacy. (TA.) You say also, دَمْعَهُ ↓ غيّض , (S, * K,) inf. n. as above, (K,) He made his tears to diminish, (S, K,) and restrained them: (S:) or he took the tears from his eye and dashed them away. (Th.) A poet says, (TA,) namely, Jereer, (O and TA in art. غبض,) “ مِنْ عَبَرَاتِهِنَّ وَقُلْنَ لِى ↓ غَيَّضْنَ
مَا ذَا لَقِيتَ مِنَ الهَوَى وَلَقِينَا
” meaning They made their tears to flow until they exhausted them [and they said to me, What is it that thou hast experienced, of love, and we have experienced?]: ISd says that من here denotes some; or it may be redundant, accord. to the opinion of Abu-l-Hasan; for he holds that it may be so in affirmative [as well as negative] phrases, mentioning, as an instance, قَدْ كَانَ مِنْ مَطَرٍ, meaning قَدْ كَانَ مَطَرٌ. (TA.) One relation of this verse gives غَبَّضْنَ; but the former is the right. (O and TA in art. غبض.) ― -b2- Also He opened a way, passage, or channel, for it (namely water) to flow forth to a مَغِيض [q. v.]. (Msb.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) He diminished it, namely the price of a commodity; (Ks, S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اغاضهُ . (K.) ― -b4- And He caused him to suffer loss, or detriment; and wronged, or injured, him. (ISd, TA.) 2 غيّضهُ  : see 1, latter half, in three places. -A2- غيّض said of a lion He frequented, or kept to, the غَيْضَة [q. v.]. (S, Sgh, L, K.) 4 اغاضهُ  : see 1, latter half, in two places. 7 إِِنْغَيَضَ see 1, first sentence. غَيْضٌ  An abortive fœtus, not completely formed; (Katádeh, K;) i. e. less than seven months old. (TA.) -A2- (tropical:) Little; or a small quantity: as in the saying, or in أَعْطَاهُ غَيْضًا مِنْ فَيْضٍ (tropical:) He gave him little from much. (S, A, K.) -A3- An abundance of the trees called أَعْلَاث; i. e. طَرْفَآء and أَثْل and حَاج and عِكْرِش and يَنْبُوت. (TA.) [See also غَيْضَةٌ.] غِيضٌ  The طَلْع [or spadix of a palm-tree]; (IAar, IDrd, O, K, TA;) like غَضِيضٌ and إِِغْرِيضٌ: (TA:) or the عَجَم (AA, O, K) [thus correctly (in the CK عُجْم) evidently, I think, here meaning the heart (commonly called جُمَّار q. v.) of the palm-tree (the only produce that is eaten except the dates)] that comes forth, or coming forth, (K,) or that has not come forth, (O,) from [amid] its [membranous fibres termed] لِيف [q. v.], and all of which is eaten. (AA, O, K.) غَيْضَةٌ  A thicket; syn. أَجَمَةٌ; i. e. a collection of tangled, or confused, or dense, trees: (Mgh, Msb:) or an أَجَمَة; i. e. a ↓ مَغِيض [q. v.] of water collected together, in which, in consequence thereof, trees grow: (S:) or an أَجَمَة: and a place in which is a collection of trees in a مَغِيض of water: (K:) or particularly, of [trees of the willow-kind called] غَرَب; not of all trees; (AHn, O, K;) accord. to the first Arabs of the desert; but this is at variance with what we find in the poems of the Arabs; for Ru-beh, for instance, makes it to consist of fruit-bearing trees and trees not fruit-bearing, and makes it to be a غَابَة: (AHn, O:) [see also غَيْنَةٌ:] pl. [of pauc.] أَغْيَاضٌ (S, K) and [of mult.] غِيَاضٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and غَيْضَاتٌ: (Msb:) the first of these being formed with disregard of the augmentative [ة]; not being a pl. pl., for this is not so formed: (TA:) any غَرَب in Nejd adjacent to the غَرَب of the cultivated lands, when they are collected therein, are termed غِيَاض. (O, TA.) [See also غَيْضٌ.] غَائِض  as used in the following verse, “ إِِلَى اللّٰهِ أَشْكُو مِنْ خَلِيلٍ أَوَدُّهُ
ثَلَاثَ خِلَالٍ كُلُّهَا لِىَ غَائِضُ
” is said by some to mean غَائِظ, the ض being substituted for ظ; [so that the verse should be rendered, To God I complain of three qualities, or habits, of a friend whom I love, every one of which is to me such as angers;] thus says IJ: but ISd says that it may be without substitution, from غَاضَهُ as expl. in the last sentence of the first paragraph of this art.; and thus the meaning may be, such as causes me to suffer loss, or detriment, and such as wrongs, or injures, me. (TA.) مَغِيضٌ  is an inf. n. (TA. [See 1, first sentence.]) ― -b2- And also the pass. part. n. of غَاضَهُ; applied to water. (Msb, TA. *) ― -b3- And a n. of place, signifying A place where water sinks, or goes away, into the earth: (Msb, TA:) or مَغِيضُ مَآءٍ signifies a place where water enters [into the earth]: and a place where water collects: (Mgh:) see also غَيْضَةٌ: pl. مَغَايِضُ.
