فزع

فَزِعٌ ذ Fearing; being afraid or frightened or terrified; (Er-Rághib, MA, Msb, TA;) thus in a verse cited voce ظُنْبُوبٌ; (Er-Rághib, TA;) and ↓ مُفَازِعٌ is syn. therewith: (O, K:) and one says also ↓ رَجُلٌ فَازِعٌ, pl. فَزَعَةٌ; and ↓ مَفْزُوعٌ; meaning a man put in fear; made afraid; frightened, or terrified. (TA.) And In a state of disquiet, disturbance, or agitation: whence an extraordinary reading, of four readers, in the Kur xxviii. 9, [i. e. فَزِعًا] for فَارِغًا, relating to the heart of the mother of Moses, meaning in a state of disquiet, &c., almost quitting its pericardium. (TA.) It has no broken pl.; its only pl. being فَزِعُونَ. (TA.) ― -b2- Also Seeking, or demanding, aid, or succour; and Sgh thus explains it [in the O] as used in the verse above mentioned; but Er-Rághib says that this is an explanation of the intended meaning, not of the literal signification: (TA:) and it has also the contr. meaning, aiding, or succouring; thus being trans., though of the measure فَعِلٌ; but it may be altered from ↓ فَازِعٌ, like as حَذِرٌ is [said to be] altered from حَاذِرٌ.
