صَاعِدٌ ذ [ Ascending, &c.]. ― -b2- [Hence,] عُنُقٌ صَاعِدٌ (tropical:) A tall neck. (A, L.) ― -b3- And شَرَفٌ صَاعِدٌ (tropical:) [ High nobility ]. (A.) ― -b4- [Hence also,] one says, بَلَغَ كَذَا فَصَاعِدًا (tropical:) It reached such an amount and upwards: (K, TA:) and أَخَذْتُهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَصَاعِدًا (tropical:) I got it for a dirhem and upwards; an elliptical phrase, for أَخَذْتُهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَزَادَ الثَّمَنُ صَاعِدًا I got it for a dirhem and the price increased upwards, or ذَهَبَ صَاعِدًا went upwards: you may not say وَصَاعِدًا, because you do not mean to tell that the dirhem with something more made the price, as when you say بِدِرْهَمٍ وَزِيَادَةٍ; but you mention the lowest price that you offered, and mean that you then offered more and more. (Sb, L.) And قَرَأَ فَاتِحَةَ الكِتَابِ فَصَاعِدًا (assumed tropical:) He read the opening chapter of the Book [i. e. of the Kur-án] and more is a phrase of the same kind. (L.)
