بهت

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

مَبْهُوتٌ مبهوت Confounded, perplexed, or amazed, and unable to see his right course: (S, K:) [other (similar) meanings may be seen from explanations of بُهِتَ:] accord. to Ks and the S and Sgh and the K, one should not say ↓ بَاهِتٌ nor ↓ بَهِيتٌ; but there is no reason in analogy why he who says بَهَتَ, like نَصَرَ and مَنَعَ, should not say thus: (TA:) Lb says, in the Expos. of the Fs, that they said ↓ بَاهِتٌ and ↓ بَهَّاتٌ [which latter is an intensive form] and ↓ بَهِيتٌ, which [last] may be considered as having the meaning of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, like مَبْهُوتٌ, or that of the measure فَاعِلٌ, like بَاهِتٌ; but the former is the more agreeable with analogy, and the more probable. (MF, TA) ― -b2- Also Calumniated, slandered, or falsely accused. (S.)
