muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarتَرْكٌ
Core sense — he left it, forsook it, abandoned it; he made it become something; he marriedgenerated
1.1and leave the sea opened with a wide interval—وَٱتْرُكِ البَحْرَ رَهْوًا
maṣdar تَرْكٌ and ترْكَانٌ, with kesr.
Er-Rāghib: he left it, forsook it, relinquished it, or abandoned it — either intentionally and by choice, or under constraint and of necessity.
Ibn-'Arafeh: he left it, forsook it, and the like, both of a thing that he desired or wished for and of a thing that he did not.
He left a place, went away from it, or departed from it; and he left a man, forsook him, abandoned him, or separated himself from him.
He threw it away as a thing of no account; rejected it, discarded it, cast it off.
He left it alone; ceased, desisted, or abstained from it; neglected it, omitted it, or left it undone. Synonymous with خَلَّاهُ or وَدَعَهُ, and so is اتّركهُ. [But respecting this latter verb, see what follows.]
how many gardens and springs did they leave!—كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِنْ جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
he made his right, or claim, null, or he rejected it—تَرَكَ حَقَّهُ
he left a ركعة of the prayer unperformed—تَرَكَ رَكْعَةٌ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ
he strove, or exerted himself, in it and neglected nothing in his power—قَالَ فِيهِ فَمَا ٱتَّرَكَ
Qur'ān 44:23. Or: motionless, in the same state as before your passing through it, and do not strike it with your rod or change anything in it; or motionless, parted asunder, so that the Egyptians may enter it. Er-Rāghib: an instance of the verb meaning leaving intentionally and by choice.
Qur'ān 44:24. Er-Rāghib: an instance of the verb meaning leaving under constraint and of necessity.
In phrases of this kind, where the object of the verb is an abstract noun, it is said (but I think it doubtful) that the verb is used metaphorically.
Explained as مَا تَرَكَ شَيْئًا [i. e. he strove, laboured, or exerted himself, in it, and neglected not, or omitted not, anything in his power]: the verb is of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ.
مَنْ أَوْصَى بِالثُّلُثِ وَلَمْ يَتَّرِكْ شَيْئًا is a mistake for ولم يَتْرُكْ شَيْئًا or يَتَّرِكْ ولم without شَيْئًا, or for فَمَا ٱتَّرَكَ, since this verb is not transitive except, sometimes, in poetry.
The meaning is وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ فِيمَاأُذِنَ لَهُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا [i. e. he who bequeaths the third of his property, and does not omit anything of what he is allowed (to leave, or anything of the third part, for this is all that he is allowed to bequeath)].
he did such a thing and neglected nothing—فَعَلَ فَمَا ٱتَّرَكَ
That usage is taken from this saying.
the deceased left property—تَرَكَ المَيِّتُ مَالًا

Qur’ān 44:25 Lane quotes this verse
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍHow many were the gardens and springs they left behind,Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)
1.1.1and we have perpetuated to him a eulogy among the later generations—وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى الآخِرِينَ
Qur'ān 37:76 and elsewhere: among the later generations of the prophets and peoples, to the day of resurrection, [namely,] Salutation and the like.
1.1.2I made the rope strong, or caused it to become strong—تَرَكْتُ الحَبْلَ شَدِيدًا
التَّرْكُ is also synonymous with الجَعْلُ in some instances, as though it had two opposite meanings: when تَرَكَ is doubly transitive, it has the meaning of صَيَّرَ or جَعَلَ.
and He causes them to be in darknesses—وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِى ظُلُمَاتٍ
Qur'ān 2:16.
I did not make it, or cause it, to be thus—مَا تَرَكْتُهُ كَذَا
Sometimes said of any action that has come at last to a certain state.

Qur’ān 2:17 Lane quotes this verse
مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى ٱسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَلَمَّآ أَضَآءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُۥ ذَهَبَ ٱللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتٍ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَTheir similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)
1.2he (a man) married, i. e. took to wife, a تَرِيكَة—تَرِكَ
That is, a woman who had remained a virgin, unmarried, until she had become of middle age, or long after she had reached puberty, in the house or tent of her parents.

, (S, M, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. تَرُكَ , (S, M,) inf. n. تَرْكٌ (S, M, Msb, K, &c.) and ترْكَانٌ , with kesr, (Fr, K,) He left it, forsook it, relinquished it, abandoned it, deserted it, or quitted it; either intentionally, and by choice, or by constraint, and of necessity: (Er-Rághib, TA:) he left it, forsook it, &c., as above; namely, a thing that he desired, or wished for, and also a thing that he did not desire, or did not wish for: (Ibn-'Arafeh, TA:) he left it, quitted it, went away from it, or departed from it; namely, a place: and he left him, forsook him, relinquished him, abandoned him, deserted him, quitted him, or separated himself from him: (Msb:) he cast it, or threw it, away, as a thing of no account; rejected it; discarded it; cast it off; left it off: (MF, TA:) he left it, left it alone, let it alone; ceased, desisted, forbore, or abstained, from it; neglected it, omitted it, or left it undone; syn. خَلَّاهُ ; (S, A, O;) or وَدَعَهُ ; (M, K;) as also اتّركهُ . (K. [But respecting this latter verb, see what follows.]) وَٱتْرُكِ البَحْرَ رَهْوًا , in the Kur xliv. 23, And leave thou the sea opened with a wide interval; or motionless, in the same state as before thy passing through it, and strike it not with thy rod, nor alter anything thereof; (Bd;) or motionless, parted asunder; (Jel;) so that the Egyptians may enter it; (Bd, Jel;) is an instance of the verb meaning leaving intentionally, and by choice: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِنْ جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ , in the next verse, How many gardens and springs did they leave! (Jel,) is an instance of the verb meaning leaving by constraint, and of necessity. (Er-Rághib, TA.) In a phrase such as تَرَكَ حَقَّهُ , meaning He made his right, or due, or claim, to be null, or he rejected it, and such as تَرَكَ رَكْعَةٌ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ , meaning He neglected, omitted, or left unperformed, a ركعة , of the prayer, [it is said (but I think it doubtful) that] the verb, having an ideal substantive for its objective complement, is used metaphorically. (Msb.) قَالَ فِيهِ فَمَا ٱتَّرَكَ means مَا تَرَكَ شَيْئًا [i. e. He strove, laboured, or exerted himself, ( اِجْتَهَدَ ,) in it, and neglected not, or omitted not, anything in his power]: the verb is of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ . (S.) مَنْ أَوْصَى بِالثُّلُثِ وَلَمْ يَتَّرِكْ شَيْئًا is a mistake for ولم يَتْرُكْ شَيْئًا , or يَتَّرِكْ ولم without شَيْئًا , or فَمَا ٱتَّرَكَ ; for this verb is not trans., except, sometimes, in poetry; and the meaning is, وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ فِيمَاأُذِنَ لَهُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا [i. e. He who bequeaths the third of his property, and does not omit anything of what he is allowed (to leave, or anything of the third part, for this is all that he is allowed to bequeath)]: it is from the saying فَعَلَ فَمَا ٱتَّرَكَ [He did such a thing, and neglected not, or omitted not, anything]. (Mgh.) You say also, تَرَكَ المَيِّتُ مَالًا , i. e. The deceased left property. (Msb.) وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى الآخِرِينَ , (K,) in the Kur [xxxvii. 76 &c.], (TA,) means And we have perpetuated (K, Jel, TA) to him a eulogy among the later generations (Jel, TA) of the prophets and peoples to the day of resurrection, [namely,] Salutation &c. (Jel.) التَّرْكُ is also syn. with الجَعْلُ , (Lth, K, TA,) in some instances; (Lth, TA;) as though it had two contr. significations: (K:) [i. e.,] when تَرَكَ is doubly trans., it has the meaning of صَيَّرَ , (MF, TA,) or جَعَلَ . (TA.) So in the saying, تَرَكْتُ الحَبْلَ شَدِيدًا I made, or rendered, the rope strong; or made it, or caused it, to be, or become, strong. (TA.) So too in the Kur ii. 16, وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِى ظُلُمَاتٍ And maketh, or causeth, them to be in darknesses. (Ksh, Bd, MF.) And sometimes one says of any action that has come at last to a certain state, مَا تَرَكْتُهُ كَذَا [I did not make it, or cause it, to be thus]. (TA.) تَرِكَ , aor. تَرَكَ , (IAar, K,) inf. n. تَرْكٌ , (TK,) He (a man, IAar) married, i. e. took to wife, a تَرِيكَة , (IAar, K,) meaning a woman that had remained a virgin, unmarried, until she had become of middle age, or long after she had attained to puberty, in the house, or tent, of her parents. (TA.)
