اشذّهُ; (Ṣ, M, Ḳ;) andشذّذهُ↓; (Ḳ;) andشَذَّهُ↓, aor. ـُ {يَشْذُذُ} only; (M, Ḳ;) but Aṣ disallows this last form of the verb; (IJ, L;) He, or it, caused it to be, or to become, apart, (Ṣ, L,) to fall, or go, or come, out, or forth, from the generality of things, or the general assemblage, main body, bulk, or common mass, (Ṣ, M, L, Ḳ,) to which it pertained: (M, L:) and the first signifies he removed it, and put it far away; namely, a thing: (Ḳ:) and he set him, or exposed him, apart from his companions, or alone: (IJ, L:) and he scattered, or dispersed, it.
