Core sense — an answer, a reply, a responsegenerated

1

An answer, a reply, or a response — to a letter or writing, and to a saying or question; either affirmative or negative.

According to some it comes only after a question or a demand; but this is not correct, for it is often a reply to an affirmation.

جِيبَةٌ means the same, and so do جَابَةٌ and مَجُوبَةٌ.

The plural of جواب is أَجْوِبَةٌ and جَوَابَاتٌ.

In grammar, حَرْفُ جَوَابٍ is a responsive particle.

جَوَابُ شَرْطٍ is an apodosis, the complement or correlative of a condition, like أَكْرَمْتُكَ in the saying إِنْ جِئْتَنِى أَكْرَمْتُكَ; it is also called جَزَآءُ شَرْطٍ and جَوَابُ جَزَآءٍ.

جَوَابُ قَسَمٍ is the complement of an oath.

1.1

Also the sound of a bird pouncing down from the sky.

Nounأَجْوَبُ1 sense

Core sense — more, or most, quick in being answered, said of prayergenerated

1figurative · مجازwhat part of the night is that in which prayer is most quick in being answered?—أَىُّاللَّيْلِ أَجْوَبُ دَعْوَةً

See Form 4. This occurs in a question put to Mohammad.

The meaning is: what part of the night is that in which prayer most quickly penetrates? or in which prayer is most quick in being answered? or in which God is most quick in answering prayer?

The word is either from جُبْتُ الأَرْضَ, “I traversed the land”, and means more, or most, penetrating to the places from which the answer is imagined to proceed.

Or it means more, or most, quick in being answered, from جَابَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ, of the measure فَعُلَت [that is, originally جَوُبَت], “the prayer became answered” — a verb that is not in use, just as فَقِيرٌ and شَدِيدٌ are imagined to be derived from فَقُرَ and شَدُدَ.

Or it means more, or most, quick of answer, from أَجَابَ, and is then irregular, like أَطْوَعُ [“more obedient”] from الطَّاعَةُ [that is, from أَطَاعَ, “he obeyed”], and like أَعْطَى [“more, or most, excellent in giving”, from أَعْطَى, “he gave”], and لَوَاقِحَ [plural of لَاقِحَةٌ, a fecundating wind, from أَلْقَحَ, “he, or it, fecundated”], and the like.

If so, the word is irregular because a word of the measure أَفْعَلُ of this kind is not derived from a verb of more than three letters, except in certain departures from the regular course of speech.
