maṣdarعُتُوٌّmuḍāriʿيَعْتُو

Core sense — he behaved proudly and excessively; he grew old and declining; he dried upgenerated

1.1I disobeyed, or I did not obey—تَعَتَّيْتُ

maṣdar عُتُوٌّ, عُتِىٌّ and عِتِىٌّ, of which عُتُوٌّ is the original form: one of the two ḍammas, the second, was changed into a kasra, and so the و into ى, and then the other ḍamma was assimilated to the kasra.

Er-Rāghib: he behaved proudly and was excessive; he was extremely proud, or corrupt, or unbelieving; or he revolted from obedience, or turned away from it.

عَتَوْتُ has the same meaning, and so does عَتَيْتُ according to some copies of the K, while others have عَتِيتُ; but according to J and others one should not say عَتَيْتُ.

but they turned away with disdain from obeying the command of their Lord—فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ

In the Qur'ān 51:44.

1.1.2he became advanced in age, and in a declining state—عَتَا

Said of an old man; but in my copy of the Msb الشى is put for الشيخ.

maṣdar عُتُوٌّ and عِتِىٌّ, or عُتِىٌّ and عَتِىٌّ, with ḍamma and also with fatḥa.

and I have reached the extreme degree of old age—وَقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ ٱلْكِبَرِ عُتِيًّا

Or he became dried up, as what follows shows.

Or the meaning here is dryness, and hardness or stiffness, in the joints and the bones, like dry wood or a dry branch.

In the Qur'ān 19:9, according to one reading; from عَتَا, it became dried up, said of wood or a branch, and so also عَسَا.
