maṣdarتَضْيِيعٌ

Core sense — he made the thing perish, he wasted it, or lost itgenerated

2.1he made the thing perish, or become lost; he destroyed it, wasted it, or lost it—اضاعهُ

the maṣdar of the other form is إِضَاعَةٌ; both verbs mean the same.

they beheaded such a one with the sword—ضَيَّعُوا فُلَانًا

[In the spring, or in the summer, you lost the milk]—الصَّيْفَ ضَيَّعْتِ اللَّبَنَ

Used in this sense by the common people.

Said in a proverb. The ت is with kesr when the words are addressed to a male, to a female, or to a plural number, because they were originally addressed to a woman: the wife of a wealthy man whom she disliked because he was aged, so he divorced her; a poor man then married her, and she sent to her first husband asking for a gift, and he answered her thus. الصيف is in the accusative case as an adverbial noun: so says Yaakoob.

Or: El-Aswad Ibn-Hurmuz divorced his wife El-'Anood Esh-Shenneeyeh, of the Benoo-Shenn, preferring to her a beautiful and wealthy woman of his people; then something occurred between them that led to their separation, and he sought to get El-'Anood back and sent a message to her; but in replying to him she said: [You have begun to seek our union: in the spring, or in the summer, you lost the milk]

shāhid

أَنْشَأْتَ تَطْلُبُ وَصْلَنَافِى الصَّيْفِ ضَيَّعْتَ اللَّبَنْ

. The ت in this case is with fet-h.

See more in Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 197-8, or in Har p. 577; in both of these, however, and in the O, ضيّعت is with kesr in the latter case, as in the former.

Nounضَيْعَةٌ5 senses · 2 main

Core sense — a single case of perishing; an estate yielding revenue; a craft, a means of gaingenerated

A maṣdar of Form 1.

1.1

See ضَيَاعٌ below, last sentence but one.

1.2

Also a single case, or occasion, of perishing, coming to nought, passing away, or becoming lost; or of being left, left or let alone, or neglected.

1.3I left him unsought-after, unminded, or unmissed—تَرَكْتُهُ بِضَيْعَةٍ

See also a similar phrase under ضَيَاعٌ.

2[Arise to your craft, etc.]—قُمْ إِلَى ضَيْعَتِكَ

Also the same as عَقَارٌ [meaning an estate consisting of land, or of land and a house, or of a house or land yielding a revenue, or of a house and palm-trees, or the like]; and particularly land yielding a revenue.

With the people of the towns, villages and cultivated lands it means a man's property consisting of palm-trees, grape-vines and land; but the Arabs of the desert do not know the word in this sense.

IF says: I do not reckon the use of this word as a name for the عَقَار to belong to the original language, but think it an innovation in speech; and I have heard it said that this is called a ضيعة because, when frequent attention to it is neglected, it perishes; and if that is so, this is evidence for what we have said, that the word belongs to the innovated speech.

The diminutive is ضُيَيْعَةٌ, for which one should not say ضُوَيْعَةٌ. The plural is ضِيَاعٌ and ضِيَعٌ, as though the latter were a contraction of the former, and ضَيْعَاتٌ.

According to Lth, the first of these plurals means places of alighting, abode, or settlement; they are so called because, when the care and upkeep of them is neglected, they come to nought.

ضَيْعَاتٌ occurs in a tradition meaning the means of subsistence.

And, as used by the Arabs of the desert, who know the word in no other sense than this: a craft, or handicraft, by which one gains his subsistence; a mode, or manner, of gain; or any habitual work or occupation of a man — such as the sewing of skins or boots and the like; the twisting of ropes; the weaving, or plaiting, of palm-leaves; the culture of palm-trees; the pasturing of camels; and the like, including the sowing, or tilling, of land.

Or the ضَيْعَة of the Arabs was the management, or tending, of camels and of sheep and goats. The term includes a man's craft, or handicraft, or means of gain, and his traffic.

[Every man should occupy himself with his proper craft, etc.]—كُلُّ رَجُلٍ وَضَيْعَتَهُ

God made, or may God make, his means of subsistence abundant—أَفْشَى ٱللّٰهُ

Said to a man.

Occurring in a tradition; also ضَيْعَتَهُ.

his property was, or became, large, or abundant, so that he was unable to collect it together—فَشَتْ ضَيْعَتُهُ

Or, more commonly, فَشَتْ عَلَيْهِ ضَيْعَتُهُ, as in the TA in art. فشو and elsewhere.

And hence: his means of attaining his object [or his affairs ] became disordered, so that he did not know which of them to begin with; or he took to doing an affair that did not concern him.

It is nearly like the saying اِتَّسَعَ الخَرْقُ عَلَى الرَّاقِعِ [explained in art. خرق].

[Indeed I see property that nothing but a sleep will restore to a right state]—إِنِّى لَأَرَى ضَيْعَةً لَا يُصْلِحُهَا إِلَّا ضَجْعَةٌ

A proverb, said by a pastor whose camels had scattered; wanting to gather them together and unable to do so, he sought the aid of sleep.
