فزع

مُفَزَّعٌ ذ Cowardly; (Fr, O, K;) as being made to fear, or to be frightened at, everything: (Fr, O:) and courageous; (Fr, O, K;) as being one the like of whom fearful events are made to befall (بِمِثْلِهِ تُنْزَلُ الأَفْزَاعُ). (Fr, O. [But what here follows suggests another reason, and I think a better, for the latter meaning.]) مُفَزَّعَةٌ applied by 'Amr Ibn-Maadee-Kerib as an epithet to his اِسْت, in replying to a threat of El-Ash-'ath, who had said to him, لَوْ دَنَوْتَ لَأُضَرِّطَنَّكَ, means Secure from being overcome by fear, or fright, and [ therefore ] not lax so as to break wind [ in consequence of fear ]; being from فَزَّعَ عَنْهُ meaning “ he removed fear, or fright, from him; ” or it may be for the same reason as that for which مُفَزَّعٌ is applied to a courageous man. (O.)
