Root entry · 1 derived lemma

2 رغّبهُ فِى شَىْءٍ ذ , [inf. n. تَرْغِيبٌ,] He made him to desire, or wish for, a thing; (S, * MA, K; *) as also فيه ↓ ارغبهُ. (S, * K: *) both signify the same. (S.) You say, رَغَّبْتُهُ فِى صُحْبَتِهِ [ I made him to desire, or wish for, his companionship ]. (A.) ― -b2- And رغّبهُ, inf. n. تَرْغِيبٌ; (IAar, TA;) and رغّب اـِلَيْهِ; (TA;) He gave him what he desired, or wished for. (IAar, TA.) ― -b3- [رغّب is also said by Golius to signify Cupivit avide et expetivit; as on the authority of the KL: but this signification is not in my copy of that work, nor do I find it in any other lexicon.]
