Core sense — a horse that outstrips; generous, excellent; freed from slavery; oldgenerated
1a horse that precedes, or outstrips—عَاتِقٌ
Or it means a horse that precedes and becomes safe; or one that outstrips the other horses.
The headword means a horse that precedes, or outstrips; and also a generous, or an excellent, horse; or a horse swift and excellent; or one that excites admiration by his generousness or excellence. Same as رَائِعٌ; plural عِتَاقٌ.
a young she-camel that is generous, excellent, or swift—عَتِيقَةٌ
generous, or excellent—عِتَاقٌ
Applied to camels, or to those termed أَرْحَبِيَّات, and to horses; or the عِتَاق of horses are the generous, or excellent, ones among them, and so of birds, the noble ones among them, in a wider sense than the word has in English falconry; or, of birds, those that prey.
one such bird of prey—عَتِيقٌ
applied particularly to eagles—عِتَاقُ الطَّيْرِ
So IAar, under عُقَابٌ.
the hawk, or falcon—عَتِيقُ الطَّيْرِ
anything generous, or excellent; anything choice, or best—عَتِيقٌ
dates—العَتِيقُ
Used of a hawk, of dates, of water, and of fat.
As in a verse of ʿAntarah (or of Khuzaz Ibn Lowdhán) cited under كَذَبَ as a proper name for them; or, as some say, the dates termed شِهْرِيز, of which the plural is عُتُقٌ. It means water itself, and fat itself, as well.
anything that has reached the utmost degree in goodness, badness, beauty, or ugliness—عَتِيقٌ
According to IAar; plural عُتُقٌ.
1.1such a one is beautiful, or comely, in respect of the face—فُلَانٌ عَتِيقُ الوَجْهِ
a woman beautiful, or comely; generous, or noble—اِمْرَأَةٌ عَتِيقَةٌ
on this sense Also beautiful, or comely.
1.2
Applied to a man: thin, or fine, or delicate, in his outer skin, after having been coarse and rough.
1.3a surname of Eṣ-Ṣiddeeq, that is, of Aboo Bekr—العَتِيقُ
Applied to a slave: freed from slavery, emancipated; also عَاتِقٌ and مُعْتَقٌ.
Some of the relaters of traditions say مَعْتُوقٌ, but this is not allowable.
عَتِيقَةٌ is used of a female, and عَتِيقٌ also.
The plural of عَتِيقٌ is عُتَقَآءُ, and عِتَاقٌ also occurs sometimes, like كِرَامٌ as a plural of كَرِيمٌ; the plural of عَتِيقَةٌ is عَتَائِقُ.
So called because the Prophet said that he was freed from the fire [of Hell]; or because of his beauty; or his mother named him so.
1.4figurative · مجاز — inferreda name of the Kaabeh, the Old House—البَيْتُ العَتِيقُ
Also old, as is عَاتِقٌ; the headword is used in this sense of anything, even of a man.
Its plural is عِتَاقٌ, which occurs in a tradition applied to the earlier verses of the Qur'ān that were revealed at Mekkeh, and عُتْقٌ, or عُتُقٌ with two dammas, like بُرُدٌ, plural of بَرِيدٌ, applied to دَرَاهِم; عُتْقٌ is probably a contraction of عُتُقٌ, as بُرْدٌ is of بُرُدٌ, and it is used in the same way of دَنَانِير. [عُتَّقٌ occurs in art. سم, which agrees with general analogy if it is a plural of عَاتِقٌ.] But عُتُّقٌ, with two dammas and teshdeed, is a mistake.
an old bridge—قَنْطَرَةٌ عَتِيقَةٌ
Given to it in the Qur'ān [22:30 and 34]. The name is used because it was the first house founded upon the earth, as is said in the Qur'ān [3:90]; or, taking it as the Freed House, because it was freed from being submerged in the days of the Deluge, being taken up; or freed from the overbearing and tyrannical among mankind; or from the Abyssinians; or because it was not possessed by anyone. Explained in this last way, it is figurative.
With ة; and قَنْطَرَةٌ جَدِيدٌ, meaning the opposite, without ة, because عَتِيقَةٌ has the meaning of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ, while جَدِيدٌ has the meaning of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ.
رَاحٌ عَتِيقٌ, without ة, and عَتِيقَةٌ, and عَاتِقٌ apparently mean old wine.
good and old wine—خَمْرٌ عَاتِقٌ
Also عَتِيقٌ and عُتَاقٌ.
old wine—عَاتِقٌ
Or it means wine long kept in its vessel; or wine whose seal no one has broken; or wine that has just reached maturity.
Ḥassān says, using it as an adjective in which the quality of a noun predominates: [Like musk which you mix with the water of a cloud, or old wine like the blood of the slaughtered animal, kept long in its unopened jar]
shāhidكَٱلْمِسْكَ تَخْلِطُهُ بِمَآءِ سَحَابَةٍأَوْ عَاتِقٍ كَدَمِ الذَّبِيحِ مُدَامِ
One copy has مُخْتَلِطٌ in place of تَخْلِطُهُ.
1.5wine—العَتِيقُ
apparently, expressed juice of grapes boiled until reduced to a third or a half—الطِّلَآءُ
1.7
And a well-known sort of male palm-tree, by which the female palm-tree is kept from shedding, or dropping, its fruit.
1.8a garment, or piece of cloth, well woven—ثَوْبٌ عَتِيقٌ
Explained by جَيِّدُ الحبكةِ, apparently a miscopying of جَيِّدُ الحَبْكِ.
Qur’ānic occurrences عَتِيق

ثُمَّ لْيَقْضُوا۟ تَفَثَهُمْ وَلْيُوفُوا۟ نُذُورَهُمْ وَلْيَطَّوَّفُوا۟ بِٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ"Then let them complete the rites prescribed for them, perform their vows, and (again) circumambulate the Ancient House."
22:33
لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَـٰفِعُ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَآ إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْعَتِيقِIn them ye have benefits for a term appointed: in the end their place of sacrifice is near the Ancient House.
