صحو

1 صَحَا ذ , said of a day, [aor. يَصْحُو,] inf. n. صَحْوٌ, It was, or became, cloudless: (TA:) and so ↓ أَصْحَى: (Msb, K, TA, but not in the CK:) [it is said that] صَحْوٌ signifies the departing of the clouds: (S, Mgh, K:) [but] Es-Sijistánee says that the vulgar think it to have this meaning, whereas it only means the dispersing of the clouds with the departing of the cold. (Msb, TA.) And السَّمَاآءُ ↓ أَصْحَتِ The sky became cloudless. (Ks, S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA, but not in the CK.) ― -b2- And صَحَا مِنْ سُكْرِهِ, (S, Msb,) aor. يَصْحُو, (Msb,) inf. n. صَحْوٌ (S, Msb, K) and صُحُوٌّ, (Msb,) [ He recovered, or became free, from his intoxication; or] his intoxication ceased; as also ↓ اصحى: (Msb:) and صَحِىَ, (K, TA,) inf. n. صَحًا; (TA;) as also ↓ اصحى; (IKtt, K, TA;) is [likewise] said of one intoxicated; (K, TA;) both meaning he recovered from his state of insensibility; (TA;) and in like manner both are said of one affected with desire, or yearning or longing in the soul; (K, TA;) [and also of one sleeping, meaning he awoke: see an ex. of the former of these two verbs in this last sense in the latter part of the second paragraph of art. فرط.] ― -b3- صَحْوٌ signifies also (tropical:) The relinquishing of youthful folly, and amorous dalliance, and of what is vain, or futile. (K, TA.) Hence the saying of a poet, صَحَا القَلْبُ عَنْ سَلْمَى وَأَقْصَرَ بَاطِلُهْ (tropical:) [ The heart relinquished, or has relinquished, youthful folly and amorousness by becoming rid of Selmà, and its vain, or futile, occupation ceased, or has ceased ]. (TA.) ― -b4- And one says, صَحَتِ العَاذِلَةُ (assumed tropical:) The censuring female relinquished censuring. (TA.)
