صفق

صَفَّاقٌ ذ A cock that beats with his wings when crowing. (TA.) ― -b2- It occurs in a trad., followed by أَفَّاق in apposition, and is said by As to mean اَلَّذِى يَصْفِقُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ [app. One who goes away on some great affair ]: but in the opinion of Az, it means one who makes many journeys, and who employs himself, or uses art or artifice or cunning, in affairs of traffic; thus nearly agreeing in meaning with أفَّاقٌ. (O: the latter meaning only is assigned to it in the K.)
