Form 1شَتَا الشِّتَآءُ6 senses · 2 main
maṣdarشتو رُبُوعٌ شَتْوٌmuḍāriʿيَشْتُو

Core sense — the winter began; he spent the winter in a place; the day became intensely coldgenerated

1.1the winter commenced—شُتُوٌّ

.

Apparently like the way one says رَبَعَ الرَّبِيعُ.

1.1.1the day was, or became, intensely cold—شَتَا اليَوْمُ

Muḍāriʿ as above.

1.1.2he remained, stayed, or dwelt in a place, country, or town—شَتَا بِهِ

Muḍāriʿ as above.

That is, during the شِتَآء [or winter and the like], or during a شِتَآء in it.

I remained, stayed, or dwelt there—شَتَوْتُ بِهِ
we remained, stayed, or dwelt there—شَتَوْنَا بِهِ
he remained, stayed, or dwelt there—شتّى

Maṣdar تَشْتِيَةٌ and تشتّى; said by AZ to be from الشِّتَآءُ, like تَصَيَّفَ from الصَّيْفُ. All of these are apparently also transitive in this sense without a preposition.

Or, as some say, شَتَا الصَّيَّانَ means he remained, stayed, or dwelt in the صَمَّان [meaning a particular place and also a particular sort of place] in the شِتَآء, and تَشَتَّاهَا means he pastured his cattle there in the شِتَآء.

1.1.3the people, or party, experienced drought, barrenness, or dearth—شَتَا القَوْمُ

In the شِتَآء; also أَشْتَوْا.

1.1.4

Core sense — relating to winter; winter rain; the winter offspring of sheep and goatsgenerated

1of, or relating to, the season called شِتَآء—شَتَوِىٌّ

Like خَرْفِىٌّ and خَرَفِىٌّ in measure.

These are relative nouns from شِتَآءٌ, regarded as plural of شَتْوَةٌ; or it may be that they formed the relative noun from شَتْوَةٌ and discarded that of شِتَآءٌ, as is said in the M. Those who regard شِتَآءٌ as a singular make its relative noun شِتَائِىٌّ and شِتَاوِىٌّ.

1.1the rain of the season called شِتَآء—الشَّتَوِىُّ

Thus with fet-h to the ش; and ت has the same meaning.

So too الشَّتِىُّ, which occurs in a verse of En-Nemir Ibn-Towlab.

[See the latter of the tables inserted under زَمَنٌ, and see also نَوْءٌ.]

1.2the increase, or offspring, of sheep and goats in the season called رَبِيع—نِتَاج

Here that season means the one called الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ and رَبِيعُ الكَلَأِ, beginning in January and ending in March: see the former of the two tables mentioned above. So Aboo-Naṣr, under the word صَفَرِىٌّ.

The same applies to camels: شَتْوِىٌّ, شَتَوِىٌّ, and شَتِىٌّ are applied to the young camel brought forth by a she-camel termed مُشْتٍ, meaning مُرْبِعٌ, one that brings forth in the season called رَبِيع.

Nounشِتَآءٌ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — winter, one quarter of the year; hail; drought, dearthgenerated

1winter—شَاتَاةٌ
winter—شَتِيَّةٌ

A word of well-known meaning: in the sense in which it is most commonly used, winter; one of the quarters of the circle of the seasons.

For an example, see under رِبْعِىٌّ.

winter; also the half-year beginning at the autumnal equinox—مَشْتَاةٌ

ISk says that السَّنَةُ is with the Arabs a name for twelve months; they then divided it into two halves, and began the سَنَة [or year] at the beginning of the شِتَآء, because this word is masculine and the word صَيْف [here meaning the half-year beginning at the vernal equinox] is feminine.

Then they divided the شِتَآء into two halves, the شتوى being the former and the ربيع the latter — but this is a clear mistake, probably a copyist's, for the former half is well known to be called the رَبِيع and the latter the شِتَآء or شَتْوَة — each consisting of three months; and in like manner the صَيْف and the قَيْظ consist, each, of three months.

It is also one of the six seasons into which the year is divided, each of two months: the season beginning in November and ending in January, next after that called الخَرِيفُ. See under رَبِيعٌ, and see again the former of the two tables mentioned above.

According to Mbr, شِتَآءٌ is the plural of شَتْوَةٌ; this is said by IF on the authority of Kh, and by some on the authority of Fr or another. Or شِتَآءٌ and شَتْوَةٌ mean the same, as is said in the M; that is, some say that الشِّتَآءُ is a proper name for the quarter.

The plural is أَشْتِيَةٌ, that is, the plural of شِتَآءٌ, because أَفْعِلَةٌ as plural of فِعَالٌ belongs only to a masculine noun; and also شُتِىٌّ, originally أُشْتُوىٌ [a mistake for شُتُوىٌ], written in the Tekmileh شِتِىٌّ, on the authority of Fr.

The plural of its synonym مَشْتَاةٌ is مَشَاتٍ.

1.1hail, that falls from the sky—شِتَآءٌ

Synonym بَرَدٌ; in the CK بَرْدٌ.

1.2

Drought, or dearth.

This meaning is assigned to the شتآء and not to the صَيْف, because in it the people keep to the tents and do not go out to seek herbage.
