عطل

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

1 عَطِلَتْ ذ , [in my copy of the Msb said to be of the class of قتل, perhaps a mistranscription for قَبِلَ, but see what is said below of عَطَلَ as syn. with بَطَلَ, from which it may be inferred that عَطَلَتْ is correct in the sense here following as well as عَطِلَتْ,] said of a woman, [aor. عَطَلَ ,] inf. n. عَطَلٌ (S, O, K) and عُطُولٌ; (O, K;) and ↓ تعطّلت; (S, O, K;) She had not upon her any women's ornaments; (K, TA;) and wore not any ornature, or decoration: (TA:) or her neck was destitute of necklaces or the like; (S, O;) as also ↓ استعطلت: (Har p. 268:) accord. to Er-Rághib, العَطَلُ signifies the being destitute of ornature, or decoration. (TA.) ― -b2- And sometimes العَطَلُ is used [for العَطَلُ مِنْ شَىْءِ] as meaning The being destitute of a thing; though primarily relating to women's ornaments. (S, O.) One says, عَطِلَ مِنَ المَالِ He (a man, O) was, or became, destitute [ of property ], and مِنَ الأَدَبِ [ of discipline, or good qualities and attributes, of the mind, &c.]. (O, K.) ― -b3- And it signifies also The being destitute of occupation. (Er-Rághib, TA.) One says, عَطَلَ الأَجِيرُ, aor. عَطُلَ , like بَطَلَ, aor. عَطُلَ , in measure and in meaning [i. e. The hired man was without occupation: though it seems that in this sense also, accord. to general usage, the verb is عَطِلَ, aor. عَطَلَ ]. (Msb. [See also 5.]) And عطلت الاـِبِلُ The camels were without a pastor to tend them. (Msb. [The context there app. indicates that the verb in this case, likewise, is with fet-h to the ط; but I believe it to be more correctly عَطِلَت.]) ― -b4- And عَطِلَ, (O, K,) with kesr [to the ط], (O,) [i. e.] like فَرِحَ, (K,) signifies also He was, or became, large in the body. (O, K.)
