شنع

شَنِيعٌ ذ Bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly; (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ شَنِعٌ (O, K) and ↓ أَشْنَعُ, (S, O, K,) the last like أَكْبَرُ in the phrase اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ, meaning كَبِيرٌ, accord. to one of the two interpretations of this phrase: (O, TA:) pl. of the first شُنُعٌ. (Msb, TA. *) It is applied to a day, in this sense: or as meaning disliked, or hated: (TA:) and so is ↓ أَشْنَعُ, (S, O, K, TA,) in the former sense, (TA,) or in the latter. (O, K, TA.) And you say مَنْظَرٌ شَنِيعٌ and ↓ مُشَنَّعُ [ An aspect that is bad, evil, &c.] and ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ مُشَنَّعَةٌ, meaning قَبِيحَةٌ [i. e. An unseemly, or ugly, woman ]. (TA.) And اِسْمٌ شَنِيعٌ [ An evil, or abominable, name ]: and قَوْمٌ شُنُعُ الأَسَامِى [ A people, or party, having evil, or abominable, names ]. (A, TA.) And ↓ قِصَّةٌ شَنْعَاآءُ [ An evil, or abominable, or a foul, story ]. (TA.) And ↓ غَيْرَةٌ شَنْعَاآءُ Abominable, excessive jealousy: (O, K, TA:) in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, غبرة. (TA.)
