(TA.)

خَالِصٌ Clear; pure; sheer; free from admixture; unmingled; unmixed; genuine: (B, TA:) clear, or pure, applied to any colour: (Lḥ, TA:) ‡ white; as alsoخُلَيْصٌ↓; [which latter appears to me doubtful, though I know not why Freytag has substituted for this, or for the former word, خَلْصٌ;] both applied to anything. (Ḳ, TA.) You say, ثَوْبٌ خَالِصٌ ‡ A garment, or piece of cloth, of a clear, or pure, white: and قَبَآءٌ أَزْرَقُ خَالِصُ البِطَانَةِ ‡ A garment of the kind called قباء blue with a white lining.

خَالِصَةٌ [fem. of خَالِصٌ: used as a subst.,] † A pure property, or quality. (Bḍ in xxxviii. 46; and Ḳ. [In the CK, خُلَّة is erroneously put for خَلَّة: the corresponding word in Bḍ is خَصْلَة.]) So in the Ḳur [xxxviii. 46],أَخْلَصْنَاهُمْ↓ بِخَالِصَةٍ ذِكْرَى الدَّارِ † We have rendered them pure by a pure quality, (Bḍ, Ḳ,* TA,) the keeping in memory the final abode: (Bḍ, TA:) ذكرى الدار being a substitute for خالصة: or it may mean [by] their keeping in memory much the final abode and the return to God: (TA:) some also, (TA,) namely Náfi' and Hishám, (Bḍ,) read بِخَالِصَةِ, making it a prefix to ذكرى (Bḍ, TA) as an explicative; or an inf. n., in the sense of خُلُوص, prefixed to its agent. (Bḍ.)

You say also, هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ خَالِصَةٌ لَكَ † This thing is a property of thine: (so in a copy of the Ṣ, and so the phrase is written in the TA:) or is a thing purely thine, exclusively of others: (TA:) or هذا الشىء خَالِصَةً لَكَ this thing is particularly, or specially, thine, or for thee. (So accord. to other copies of the Ṣ, and a copy of the JK.)
