Core sense — it increased, it throve by God's blessing; he was pure, or righteousgenerated

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredit increased, or throve—زَكِىَ

or both — the Msb makes the former seem to be a simple noun — the latter like عُلُوٌّ as in the M, but in some copies of the K زَكْوٌ.

It increased, or augmented. Er-Rāghib: it received increase and blessing from God; it throve by the blessing of God; and it produced fruit (see the root زكى).

mentioned by ISd, on the authority of Lh, as a dialectal variant of زَكَا; and so too ازكى and تزكّى (see the root زكى).

Said of seed-produce, and of wealth or cattle and the like, and of other things.

Said of anything that increases, or augments.

Said in a tradition of ʿAlee. زَكَآء is thus predicated of knowledge, though knowledge is not a bodily thing.

he led a plentiful, easy, and comfortable life—زَكَا

Also said of a man, with the same muḍāriʿ and maṣdar: he was, or became, good, or righteous, and pure from sin.

El-Umawee: said of a man. He was in a state of abundance of the good things and comforts of life.

24:21

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّبِعْ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ مَا زَكَىٰ مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَبَدًا وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزَكِّى مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

O ye who believe! follow not Satan's footsteps: if any will follow the footsteps of Satan, he will (but) command what is shameful and wrong: and were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, not one of you would ever have been pure: but Allah doth purify whom He pleases: and Allah is One Who hears and knows (all things).

Core sense — increase; purity, purification; the poor-rategenerated

Or زَكٰوةٌ. [According to El-Hareeree, it is to be written with ا when a pronoun is added to it, and also in the dual; but I have not found this rule generally kept, even in the best manuscripts, nor in the similar cases of صَلٰوةٌ and حَيٰوةٌ (to which it is also applied) in the best copies of the Kur-án.]

Of the measure فَعَلَةٌ [that is, originally زَكَوَةٌ], like صَدَقَةٌ, which is one of its synonyms; a word of the class of homonyms.

IAth: increase, or augmentation, as also زَكَآءٌ, resulting from the blessing of God. Er-Rāghib: this is said to be the primary meaning, and it is taken as relating both to the things of this world and to those of the world to come.

1.1

And purity. And particularly the dryness of the earth or ground, which is its purity from defilement.

1.2and who are acting in their religious service for God's purification of them, or for their own purification—وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكٰوةِ فَاعِلُونَ

And purification: a meaning it is said to have in the Kur 23:4. IAth.

Er-Rāghib: لِلزَّكٰوة is not here an object of فَاعِلُونَ, the ل in it marking the aim and the cause.

1.3[and the disposition to mercy, or compassion, from us, and religious service]—وَحَنَانًا مِنْ لَدُنَّا وَزَكٰوةً

Also, as being a way of purifying oneself, good, or righteous, conduct: it has been explained in this sense as used in the Kur 18:80; or as meaning goodness, or righteousness, which زَكَآءٌ also signifies.

And religious service, as being the means of purification: so, according to some, it signifies in the Kur 19:14. Er-Rāghib.

Or it here means طُهْرَة, that is, purification, or purity. And, apart from the instances mentioned just above, this is the only place in the Kur-án where it is used in any sense other than the one that follows.

"So we desired that their Lord would give them in exchange (a son) better in purity (of conduct) and closer in affection.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.4the alms of the breaking of the fast, given at the end of Ramaḍān—زَكَاةُ الفِطْرِ

And the poor-rate: the portion, or amount, of property that is given from it by its owner to the poor, so that he may purify it by doing so. Er-Rāghib: it is given as the due of God.

[In the S it is merely said that the زَكٰوة of property is well known: giving it is obligatory, provided that the property is of a certain amount and has been held eleven months; the portion given varies with the nature and amount of the property, but is generally a fortieth part of it, or of its value, that is, two and a half per cent.]

It is so named for the reason given above, or as being a cause for hoping for increase, or as making the soul thrive by means of the good things and blessings gained by it, or for both of these reasons. Er-Rāghib.

This is obligatory on every one of the Muslims, free or slave, male or female, young or old, poor or rich; and it purifies the faster from useless and lewd talk. It consists of a صَاع of dates, or of barley, [or of raisins or some other ordinary kind of food,] or half that quantity of wheat.

[The plural is زَكَوَاتٌ.]

Nounزَكَوِىٌّ1 sense

Core sense — of, or relating to, the poor-rategenerated

Generally meaning of, or relating to, the poor-rate. It is the relative noun from زَكَاةٌ, just as حَصَوِىٌّ is that of حَصَاةٌ, because the relative noun brings the word back to its original form; زَكَائِىٌّ is vulgar and wrong.
