(Yaakoob, K.) -A2- See also 1, last sentence but one, in two places; and see 4. 4 انشط  , said of a man, (K, * TA,) or of a company of men, (S,) His, or their, beasts, (S, K,) or family, (K,) were, or became, in a state of نَشَاط [i. e. briskness, liveliness, sprightliness, friskiness, &c.: see 1].

[And hence the saying,] كَأَنَّمَا أُنْشِطَ مِنْ عِقَالٍ As though he were loosed [from a bond such as is called عِقَال]: (S, * Mgh, TA:) a proverb, relating to an event's happening quickly; (Mgh;) or said of him who commences any work quickly; and of the sick when he recovers; and of a person who has swooned when he revives; and of a person sent to execute an affair, hastening his determination respecting it: (TA:) it is often related in a different manner, كانّما نُشِطَ من عقال; but this is not correct. (IAth, TA.) [But see above, in this paragraph; and see 1, where a similar meaning is assigned to the unaugmented verb.] -A4- He bound, or tied, him, or it, firmly, fastly, or strongly: so in the copies of the K; so that, if this be correct, the verb has two contr. significations.

(Har, p. 361.) ― -b2- (assumed tropical:) He (a man) became loosed from the tie of silence, (Har, p. 360.; Mgh,) and from that of impotence. (Mgh [in which a doubt is expressed as to its being of classical authority].) -A2- As a trans. v.: see 4, in two places. ― -b2- He pulled, or drew, a thing. (TA.) ― -b3- He seized a thing, took it hastily, or snatched it unawares: a meaning wrongly assigned in the K to ↓ انشط . (TA.) You say also, انتشط المَالُ المَرْعَى, (Sh, K,) and الكَلَأَ, (Sh,) The camels, or sheep or goats, pulled up, or out, the herbage, with the teeth.

(TA.) نُشُطٌ  [app. a pl. of ↓ نَاشِطٌ ] Persons untwisting cords, or ropes, in the time of undoing them for the purpose of their being twisted or plaited a second time. (IAar, K.) نَشْطَةٌ  as used in the following saying, (Mgh,) الشُّفْعَةُ كَنَشْطَةِ العِقَالِ The right termed شفعة is like the loosing of the bond called عقال, in respect of the speediness with which it becomes of no effect, (Mgh, Msb,) by delay, (Msb,) is of the measure فَعْلَةٌ from أَنْشَطَ, or from نَشَطَ in the sense of انشط; or the meaning is, like the tying of the عقال; i. e., it is of short duration; but the former explanation is the more apparently right. (Mgh.) بِئْرٌ نَشُوطٌ  A well from which the bucket does not come forth until it is much pulled, (As, S, TA,) by reason of the distance of its bottom; (TA;) contr. of بِئْرٌ أَنْشَاطٌ. (K.) نَشِيطٌ  (S, Msb, K) Brisk, lively, sprightly, active, agile, prompt, and quick; (Msb;) or pleased, cheerful, happy, or willing; to do work &c.; as also ↓ نَاشِطٌ ; (K;) [see نَشِطَ;] applied to a man; (S, TA;) and to a beast of carriage; fem. with ة: (TA:) pl. نِشَاطٌ (Har, p. 591) [and نَشَاطَى]. ― -b2- A man (TA) whose family, or beasts, are in a state of نَشَاط [i. e. briskness, liveliness, sprightliness, &c.: see 1]; as also ↓ مُنْشِطٌ . (K, TA.) نَاشِطٌ  : see نَشِيطٌ. ― -b2- In a verse of Et-Tirimmáh, [see استطرب,] نَاشِطًا is used for شَوْقًا نَازِعًا [By reason of yearning, or longing, desire]. (K, in art. دد.) -A2- A wild bull going forth from land to land, (S, K,) or from country to country. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence, (S,) النَّاشِطَاتُ, as used in the Kur, lxxix. 2, meaning The stars [or planets] going forth from one sign of the zodiac to another: (S, K:) or it means the stars that rise, then set: (A'Obeyd, TA:) or the angels that draw forth the souls like as the bucket is drawn forth from the well: (Zj, TA:) or the angels that loose the soul of the believer gently: (Fr, * Ibn-'Arafeh, K:) or the believing souls that are brisk, lively, sprightly, or active, at death: (K, * TA:) or, as some say, [too fancifully,] the angels that ratify events; from نَشَطَ العُقْدَةَ, q. v.; and as this signifies the tying of a knot which is easily undone, the thing's easiness to them is thus notified. (TA.) ― -b3- (tropical:) A road going forth from the main road, to the right, and to the left: (Lth, K *:) pl. نَوَاشِطُ: (TA:) which latter word is applied in like manner to water-courses (K, TA) going forth from the main water-course to the right and left. (TA.) -A3- See also نُشُطٌ. بِئْرٌ أَنْشَاطٌ  , (K, and so in a copy of the S, as on the authority of As, but in another copy of the S the ا is without any vowel,) and بِئْرٌ إِِنْشَاطٌ, (K, and, accord. to the TA, on the authority of As, and mentioned by IB on the authority of A'Obeyd,) A well of little depth, from which the bucket comes forth by means of a single pull: (As, S, K:) the latter may be defended on the ground of considering إِِنْشَاطٌ as originally an inf. n., of أَنْشَطَ signifying “ he loosed, untied, or undid, ” a knot “ by a single pull. ” (TA.) أُنْشُوطَةٌ  [A knot tied with a bow, or with a double bow, so as to form a kind of slip-knot; whence, in modern vulgar Arabic, عُقْدَة وَشُنَيْطَة, applied to such a tie; and شُنَيْطَة, applied to a simple slip-knot;] a knot, or tie, which easily becomes undone, or untied, like that of the running band of a pair of drawers; (S, Mgh, K;) a knot, or tie, which becomes undone when one of its two ends is pulled. (Msb, TA.) You say, مَا عِقَالُكَ بِأُنْسُوطَةٍ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Thy love, or affection, is not weak, or frail. (S.) مَنْشَطٌ  A thing on account of which, or to do which, one is brisk, lively, sprightly, or active; or pleased, cheerful, or happy; and which one likes, or prefers, to do: opposed to مَكْرَهٌ. (TA.) [ مَنْشِطٌ  A place to which one goes forth: pl. مَنَاشِطُ. See an ex. of the pl., voce نَشَطَ.] مُنْشِطٌ  : see نَشِيطٌ. مِنْشَطٌ  Having much نَشَاط [i. e. briskness, liveliness, sprightliness, friskiness, &c.: see 1]. (TA.) Credit: Lane Lexicon
