غم

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

4 اغمّت السَّمَاآءُ ذ The sky became clouded: (K, as indicated by the context:) or i. q. تَغَيَّرَت [i. e., became altered ]: thus in the S; but some say that it is correctly تَغَيَّمَت [agreeably with the former of the explanations above]. (TA.) See also 1, near the end. -A2- مَا أَغَمَّكَ لِى and اـِلَىَّ is [an expression of wonder, meaning How great grief, or sadness, dost thou occasion to me! ] from الغَمُّ signifying الحُزْنُ. (K, TA.) ― -b2- [Accord. to the TK, أَغَمَّهُ signifies أَحْزَنَهُ; like غَمَّهُ: but this I think a mistake. ― -b3- And Freytag explains أَغَمَّ as occurring in the Deewán of the Hudhalees signifying “ Demersit: ” but in which of its senses he uses this word he does not specify.]
