Nounرِقَّةٌ8 senses · 1 main

Core sense — thinness; weakness; mercy, compassion, tender-heartednessgenerated

A maṣdar of رَقَّ in several senses, as shown above in the first paragraph of this article.

It is explained in the K as synonymous with دِقَّةٌ; see Form 1, first sentence.

But El-Munáwee says, in the Towkeef, that this word is like that one as meaning thinness, but that the latter is said with regard to the lateral parts of a thing and the former with regard to the depth of a thing, that is, the extent between its two opposite surfaces.

So in a material substance, such as a garment or piece of cloth, it is thinness, meaning little thickness in comparison with the breadth and length together; littleness in extent, or depth, between the two opposite surfaces; fineness, delicateness, flimsiness, or looseness of texture; the opposite of ثَخَانَةٌ and صَفَاقَةٌ. In water, and sand, it is shallowness, or littleness of depth; in mud, and anything imperfectly liquid, thinness meaning lack of thickness; an attenuated state of anything.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferred

Also weakness, as in the phrase رِقَّةُ جَانِبٍ [weakness of resistance], similar to لِينُ جَانِبٍ, the opposite of غِلَظُ جَانِبٍ.

And in the phrase رِقَّةُ دِينٍ, weakness of religion. Also abjectness, meanness, paltriness, or contemptibleness; and weak-heartedness, and fearfulness (see Form 1); and shame, shyness, or bashfulness.

1.2figurative · مجاز — inferred

Also tender-heartedness; mercy, compassion, or pity; and so رِقَّةُ قَلْبٍ, mentioned in the article حن.

El-Munáwee: in the soul it is the opposite of جَفْوَةٌ and قَسْوَةٌ.

1.3figurative · مجاز — inferred
