كظ

كَظُّ ذ [originally an inf. n. ― -b2- Used as a simple subst.,] (tropical:) Grief, or disquietude, or anxiety, that fills the bosom: so in the saying of 'Omar Ibn- 'Abd-el-'Azeez, in speaking of death, وَكَظٌّ لَيْسَ كَالْكَظِّ, meaning And grief, &c., that is not like other grief, &c., but more vehement. (TA.) [See also غَنْظٌ.] -A2- It is also used as an epithet: you say رَجُلٌ كَظٌّ (tropical:) A man whom affairs oppress, or distress, and overcome, so that he is unable to perform them. (Ibn-'Abbád, K. *) ― -b2- And رَجُلٌ لَظٌّ كَظٌّ (assumed tropical:) A man, hard, or difficult, in disposition. (S, L: in some copies of the former, كَظٌّ لَظٌّ.) ISd thinks that كظّ is here an imitative sequent. (TA in art. لظ, q. v.)
