Root entry · 1 derived lemma

4 ارغمهُ ذ [ He cast it upon the رَغَام, i. e. earth, or dust: and he made it to cleave to the earth, or dust ]. You say, ارغم اللُّقْمَةَ مِنْ فِيهِ He cast the morsel from his mouth upon the earth, or dust. (TA.) And it is said in a trad. of 'Áïsheh, respecting the material for dyeing the hair, and the hands of women, اُسْلُتِيهِ وَأَرْغِمِيهِ [ Wipe thou it off from thy hand, or hands, and cast it upon the earth, or dust ]. (S. [There said to be from the phrase here next following.]) You say also, ارغم أَنْفَهُ He, (i. e. God, JK, S,) or it, (i. e. abasement, or humility, or submissiveness, K, * TA, *) made his nose to cleave to the رَغَام, i. e. earth, or dust; (JK, * S, TA;) [or may He (i. e. God) make his nose to cleave to the earth, or dust; ] and ↓ رَغَمَ أَنْفَهُ signifies the same [app. in this (the proper) sense, as well as in that next following]. (Mgh, TA.) ― -b2- And [hence] the former of these two phrases means (tropical:) He (i. e. God, Msb) abased him, humbled him, or rendered him submissive, (Msb, TA,) against his will; (TA;) [or may He abase him, &c.;] and so ↓ the latter of the same two phrases: and the former, (assumed tropical:) He angered him; likewise said of God; (Ham p. 551;) and so ارغمهُ alone; (K, TA;) like ادغمهُ; (TA;) or both signify (tropical:) he did evil to him, and angered him: (TA in art. دغم:) and أُرْغِمَ (assumed tropical:) He was abased, or humbled, or rendered submissive: (Ham p. 617:) and ا@للّٰهُ بِهِ الأُنُوفَ ↓ رَغَمَ, inf. n. رَغْمٌ, (assumed tropical:) God abased, or may God abase, the noses by means of him, or it. (Har p. 369.) [↓ رغّمهُ, also, signifies (assumed tropical:) He abased him, humbled him, or rendered him submissive: you say,] لَهُ ↓ هٰذَا تَرْغِيمٌ (assumed tropical:) This is an abasing, or a humbling, to him: (Msb:) and لِلشَّيْطَانِ ↓ تَرْغِيمًا (occurring in a trad., TA) means (assumed tropical:) For the abasing, or humbling, of the devil. (Mgh.) ― -b3- And ارغمهُ (assumed tropical:) He urged him, or made him, to do that from which he was not able to hold back, or that which he could not refuse to do, or that which he could not resist doing. (JK, TA, and Ham p. 97, from Kh.) ― -b4- See also 3.
