maṣdarذَكًاmuḍāriʿتَذْكُو يَذْكَى يَذْكُو

Core sense — the fire blazed, or burned up; the musk gave forth odour; he was sharp-mindedgenerated

1.1

maṣdar ذَكًا and ذَكَآءٌ, according to Z, and ذُكُوٌّ, like عُلُوٌّ. [According to the CK ذَكْوٌ, and so according to the MA, as well as ذُكُوٌّ and ذَكًا.] Also استذكت.

The fire blazed, or flamed; it burned up, or burned brightly and fiercely; or it blazed, or flamed, violently or intensely; or it blazed, flamed, or burned up completely — in keeping with the primary meaning of the root, which is "completeness".

1.1.1the musk gave forth odour, or fragrance—ذَكَا المِسْكُ

Or it gave forth a strong, or pungent, odour; the primary meaning of ذَكًا in relation to odour is being strong, [or pungent,] whether in sweetness or in fetidness.

1.1.2he was, or became, sharp, or acute, in mind, with quickness of perception and of intelligence—ذَكِىَ

also ذَكَا, and ذَكُوَ, all three mentioned by ISd; maṣdar ذَكَآء.

In my copy of the Msb the maṣdar of the first is said to be ذَكًى, but this is apparently a miscopying; or the author perhaps held ذَكًى, more properly written ذَكًا, to be the maṣdar, for he says that ذَكِىَ is of the class of تَعِبَ, whose maṣdar is تَعَبٌ, and afterwards mentions ذَكَآءُ as though he held this to be a simple noun.

Said of a man: or quick of understanding, intelligence, sagacity, skill, or knowledge; or quick of perception and sharp, or acute, in understanding. Er-Rāghib. Or quick in drawing conclusions. [See ذَكَآءُ below.]

Also, apparently, said of a camel and the like: he was, or became, sharp in spirit. See ذَكِىٌّ.

1.2it (a beast) was, or became, legally slaughtered, and so legally clean—ذَكَا

This seems to have been used by some in this sense, or to have been supposed to have it.

1.2.1figurative · مجاز — inferredwhatever ground has become dry has become clean, or pure—أَيُّمَا أَرْضٍ جَفَّتْ فَقَدْ ذَكَتْ

But Mtr, after mentioning this, adds: I have not found it in the dictionaries. [See also ذَكَاةٌ below.]

maṣdarتَذْكِيَةٌ

Core sense — he made the fire blaze; he slaughtered an animal in the lawful mannergenerated

2.1he lighted the lamp—اذكى السِّرَاجَ

he made the fire blaze, or burn up, or burn brightly and fiercely; also اذكاها. Or he supplied the fire fully with fuel.

2.1.1it sharpened the intellect—ذكّى العَقْلَ

Also ذكّى alone, said of a medicine and the like.

2.2he slaughtered an animal, or a camel and the like, in the manner prescribed by the law—ذكّى

Maṣdar as above. The manner is termed ذَبْحٌ, that is, ذَكَاةٌ.

Er-Rāghib: the proper meaning of التَّذْكِيَةُ is causing the natural heat to pass out; but in the law it is applied specially to destroying life in one particular manner and in no other.

except what you reach in time to slaughter lawfully—إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ

In the Qur'ān 5:4. ذَكَاة here means slaughter in the manner prescribed by the law.

Said of a man: he became old, or advanced in age, and big-bodied, or corpulent; [or he attained to full growth, or full age: said of a man, and of a horse and the like]. See ذَكَآءٌ, last sentence. See also مُذَكٍّ below.

Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Core sense — the slaughter of an animal for food in the manner prescribed by the lawgenerated

See ذُكْوَةٌ.

2the slaughter of an animal for food in the manner prescribed by the law—ذَبْحٌ

Also a noun with the same meaning as تَذْكِيَةٌ in this sense; and so is ذَكًا, which is likewise said to be a simple noun. In the CK ذَكاء.

In the TK, ذَكًا and ذَكَاةٌ are both said to be maṣdars, of which the verb is ذَكَا, meaning ذَبَحَ; but I do not find this in any dictionary of authority.

It is satisfactorily performed by severing the windpipe and the gullet, as related on the authority of Ahmad [Ibn-Hambal]; or, as is also related from him, by severing these and the وَدَجَانِ [or two external jugular veins] as well, less than which is not lawful; or, according to Aboo-Haneefeh, by severing the windpipe and the gullet and one of the ودجان; or, according to Málik, by severing the أَوَدَاج [or external jugular veins] even without severing the windpipe.

the legal slaughter of the fœtus, or young in the belly, is the legal slaughter of its mother—ذَكَاةُ الجَنِينِ ذَكَاةُ أُمِّهِ

This stands for ذَكَاةُ الجَنِينِ هِىَ ذَكَاةُ أُمِّهِ; or it is an instance of the transposition of mubtadaʾ and khabar, the implied meaning being ذَكَاةُ أُمِّ الجَنِينِ ذَكَاةٌ لَهُ — the legal slaughter of the mother of the fœtus, or young in the belly, is a legal slaughter of it too, so that it, like her, may lawfully be eaten; that is, when she is legally slaughtered, it is legally slaughtered.

Using the accusative case in the like of this, as in the phrase ذكاة امّه — that is, the saying ذَكَاةَ أُمِّهِ — is a mistake.

2.1figurative · مجاز — inferredthe cleanness, or purity, of the ground is its becoming dry—ذَكَاةُ الأَرْضِ يُبْسُهُا

Hence the saying of Mohammad Ibn-El-Hanafeeyeh: when the ground becomes dry from the moisture of uncleanness, it becomes clean, just as a beast becomes clean by legal slaughter. See also form 1, last sentence.

Also age; or full, or complete, age — so says Mbr in the "Kámil"; the opposite of فَتَآءٌ. According to Az, the primary meaning of the root, everywhere, is a state of completeness.
