muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarحَتْمٌ

Core sense — he made it firm; he decreed it; he made it necessarygenerated

1.1

He made it firm, or established it firmly; said of a thing or an affair.

.

1.1.1

He decreed it, ordained it, pronounced it, or decided it judicially; and حَتَمَ بِهِ means the same. [See حَاتِمٌ.]

1.1.2I made it necessary for him to do, or to suffer, the thing—حَتَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ الشَّىْءَ

He made it necessary, requisite, or unavoidable; synonymous with أَوْجَبَهُ, and so is حَتَمَ بِهِ. See حَاتِمٌ.

[Golius, reading أَوْحَيْتُ for أَوْجَبْتُ in the explanation given in the S, rendered حَتَمَ as meaning "inspiravit"; and the next explanation he gives, "indicavit", is a misprint for "judicavit".]

Or حَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ الأَمْرَ, with muḍāriʿ and maṣdar as above, means he made the thing, or affair, or event, absolutely and irreversibly necessary, or unavoidable, for him to do or to suffer.

حُتُومٌ, which is the plural of حَتْمٌ, may also be a maṣdar of حَتَمَ, and is likewise the plural of حَاتِمٌ.
