حجو

حِجًا حج حجا or حِجًى Intelligence, or understanding; (S, Msb, K;) sagacity, or skill and knowledge : (K:) [said to be] from حَجَا meaning “ he, or it, prevented, or withheld; ” because it prevents, or withholds, a man from doing that which is bad, or corrupt. (TA.) -A2- And i. q. مِقْدَارٌ [ Quantity, measure, &c.]: pl. أَحْجَاآءٌ. (K.) -A3- See also حَجًا. -A4- [Also said by Golius, as on the authority of J, to signify “ an enigma, ” as though syn. with أُحْجِيَّةٌ; but I have not found it in this sense in any copy of the S, nor in any other lexicon.]
