muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarحَلْىٌ

Core sense — I gave the woman ornaments; she wore ornaments; he gained no benefitgenerated

1.1I gave, or assigned, ornaments to the woman—حُلِىّ

Also حَلَوْتُهَا in the same sense. [See also 2.]

1.2she (a woman) acquired an ornament, or ornaments; or she wore an ornament, or ornaments—حَلِيَتْ

maṣdar as above.

Also تحلّت. Or the first means she had an ornament, or ornaments, and the second means she adorned herself with an ornament, or ornaments, or made herself an ornament, or ornaments.

1.2.1he gained no great profit, advantage, or benefit from him, or it—لَمْ يَحْلَ مِنْهُ بِطَائِلٍ

The verb is used in this sense only in negative phrases. It is from الحَلْىُ and الحِلْيَةُ, because the mind reckons an ornament as an acquisition, not from حلو.

[But an affirmative phrase, with the verb حَلِىَ used in a similar sense, is mentioned in the K in art. حلو: see 1 in that art. See also 1 in art. حلأ.]
