maṣdarرَوْغٌmuḍāriʿيَرُوغُ

Core sense — he turned aside, he eluded, he went this way and that deceitfullygenerated

1.1the game, or object of the chase, went off this way and that—راغ الصَّيْدُ

maṣdar رَوْغٌ and رَوَغَانٌ.

Said of a fox, and of a man: he turned aside or away from a thing; or he went this way and that, or to the right and left, quickly and with deceit or guile. [Or he turned aside to deceive him who was behind him: for] Er-Rāghib: the primary meaning of رَوْغٌ is turning aside to deceive the one who is behind.

It is said in a proverb:

shāhid

رُوغِى جَعَارِ وَ ٱنْظُرِى أَيْنَ المَفِرْ

[for المَفِرُّ, that is, Turn aside, or go this way and that, O she-hyena, and look where the place is to which to flee: or, as some relate it, the first word is رُوعِى; see art. جعر].

[Freytag seems to have found المعز for المفر, and has explained رُوغِى جَعَارِ as meaning “Vide ubi capræ sint, hyæna!”]

he turned aside, or away, from such a one; he eluded him, he dodged him—راغ عَنْ فُلَانٍ

[He deviates from the truth, or from that which is right or just]—هُوَ يَرُوغُ عَنِ الحَقِّ

the road turned aside, or deviated—راغ الطَّرِيقُ

he turned away from such a thing and came back, hiding his return—راغ مِنْ كَذَا

[There said to be figurative, but I do not see why.]

According to Fr, راغ is not said of one who has come back unless he hid his return.

he turned aside to such a thing, or to such a one, secretly—راغ إِلَى كَذَا

Also الى فُلَانٍ.

and he went away to his family secretly [and brought a fat calf]—فَراغَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ

and he turned against them secretly, striking them with the right hand—فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِٱلْيَمِينِ

Qur’ān 51:26. Or the meaning is: he returned to his family hiding his return.

Qur’ān 37:91. Or he struck them because of the oath he had sworn, as though the رَوْغ in this case lay in his using a pretext against them so that he might do to their gods what he did; or the meaning is, he advanced against them.

1.1.1he sought to obtain quickly something he wanted from such a one—راغ حَاجَةً إِلَى فُلَانٍ

Muḍāriʿ as above.
