Form 1خَزِىَ4 senses · 3 main
maṣdarخِزْىٌ خَزَايَةٌmuḍāriʿيَخْزَى

Core sense — he was, or became, base, abased, or disgraced; he was ashamedgenerated

1.1he became disgraced, and was confounded, or perplexed, by the disgraceخَزِىَ

He was, or became, base, abased, abject, vile, despicable, or ignominious.; maṣdar خِزْىٌ, خَزًى, خِزْيَةٌ, and مَخْزَاةٌ [or these last two are simple substantives].

According to ISk: he fell into trial, or affliction; or he fell into trial, or affliction, and evil, and something that exposed him to disgrace, and so became base, abased, despicable, or ignominious. The same is said of اِخْزَوَى.

اِرْعَوَى, like خِزْىٌ, means disgrace, or ignominy: so in the Qur 5:37 and elsewhere.

Or its primary meaning is a state of abasement, vileness, or ignominy of which one is ashamed: so according to Er-Rāghib, Bd, and the Ksh.

El-Harállee: or it is the showing of foul actions or qualities, for the showing of which one deserves punishment.

Qur’ān 5:33 Lane quotes this verse
إِنَّمَا جَزَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَسَادًا أَن يُقَتَّلُوٓا۟ أَوْ يُصَلَّبُوٓا۟ أَوْ تُقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ أَوْ يُنفَوْا۟ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْىٌ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

He (God) abased him, or rendered him base, abject, vile, despicable, or ignominious; or, may He abase him. Or He disgraced him, or put him to shame; or, may He disgrace him.

From the Qur 11:80, the saying of Lot to his people; or the meaning is: do not make me ashamed in respect of them.

It is used in place of praise, to charm a person against the evil eye, and is a prayer for him, not a curse against him.
