Classical Arabic - English Dictionary

غَزَاهُ, [aor. ـُ {يَغْزُوُ},] inf. n. غَزْوٌ, He willed, or desired, it; he sought it; and he aimed at it, intended it, or meant it; syn. أَرَادَهُ; and طَلَبَهُ; and قَصَدَهُ; [the first of which is often used in the same senses as the second and third;] as alsoاغتزاهُ↓; (Ḳ, TA;) this last mentioned by ISd as syn. with قَصَدَهُ. (TA.) One says, عَرَفْتُ مَا يُغْزَى مِنْ هٰذَا الكَلَامِ i. e. [I knew, or, emphatically, I know,] what is willed or desired (مَا يُرَادُ) [from this speech]. (Ṣ.) And غَزْوِى كَذَا My aim, or intention, or meaning, is such a thing. (Ḳ.)

[Hence, app.,] غَزَا العَدُوَّ, inf. n. غَزْوٌ (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ) and غَزَوَانٌ, (Ḳ, TA,) or, as some say, غَزْوَانٌ, mentioned by Sb, (TA,) and غَزَاوَةٌ, (Ḳ,) [but see what is said of this last at the close of this paragraph,] He went forth, (Er-Rághib, TA,) or repaired, or betook himself, (Mgh,) to wage war, (Er-Rághib, TA,) or to fight, (Mgh,) with the enemy; (Er-Rághib, Mgh, TA;) or he went to fight with, and plunder, the enemy; (Ḳ, TA;) in the country of the latter. (Mṣb.) [And غَزَا alone, the objective complement being understood, often signifies the same; or He engaged in a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition, or in such expeditions.]

And غَزَا إِلَيْهِ, inf. n. as above, He tended, repaired, betook himself, or went, to, or towards, him, or it; syn. قَصَدَهُ. (TA.)

غَزَاوَةٌ, mentioned above, is of a measure which in most instances is that of an inf. n. of an intrans. verb, and it seems to be an inf. n. of which the verb is غَزُوَ, meaning جَادَ غَزْوُهُ [i. e. Excellent, or how excellent, is his engaging in a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition, or in such expeditions!]; and to be similar to قَضُوَ meaning جَادَ قَضَآءُهُ, and ضَرُبَتْ يَدُهُ meaning جَادَ ضَرْبُهَا. (TA.)

اغزاهُ He fitted him out, equipped him, or furnished him, (Ṣ,) or he sent him, (Mgh, Mṣb,) or he urged, or incited, him, (Ḳ,) to engage in a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition, (Ṣ,* Mgh,* Mṣb,* Ḳ,) in the country of the enemy; (Mṣb;) andغزّاهُ↓ signifies the same. (Ḳ.)

أَغْزَتْ, said of a woman, (Mgh, Ḳ,) Her husband was absent [engaged in a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition, in the country of the enemy]; (Mgh;) or her husband went [or had gone] to fight with, and plunder, the enemy. (Ḳ.)

And, said of a she-camel, Her impregnation was, or became, difficult. (Ṣ, Ḳ.)

And اغزاهُ He granted him some delay, and deferred [the exacting of] the debt that he owed. (Ṣ, Ḳ.)

اغتِزاهُ: see 1, first sentence.

اغتزى بِفُلَانٍ He had such a one peculiarly to himself from among his companions: (Ḳ, TA:) like اِغْتَزَّ بِهِ. (TA.) A poet says,

* قَدْ يَغْتَزِى الهِجْرَانُ بِالتَّجَرُّمِ *

[Sometimes, or often, the cutting off from friendly intercourse has the accusation of that which is a crime, or a fault, or an offence, peculiarly assigned to it (as the cause)]: التجرّم here meaning اِدِّعَآءُ الجُرْمِ. (TA.)
