muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarعَزْلٌ عَزَلٌ

Core sense — he set it apart, he removed it; he deposed him from his officegenerated

1.1he put a thing apart, or aside; he removed it, or separated it, [from another thing, or from other things]—عَنْ غَيْرِهِ

1.1.1he removed, or deposed, him [from the agency, or administration, or government]—عَزَلَهُ عَنِ العَمَلِ

he removed, or deposed, him—عزّلهُ

And hence, said of an agent or a deputy: he removed him from his office.

Maṣdar تَعْزِيلٌ; it means the same as عَزَلَهُ.

[اعزل is said by Freytag to mean Semovit, followed by عن, on the authority of the K; I do not find it there.]

he was, or became, removed, deposed, or displaced [from his office]—عُزِلَ

Used as quasi-passive of عَزَلَهُ; in this sense انعزل is [said to be] not used, because in it [i.e. عَزَلَهُ] no labour or exertion is implied.

1.1.2he withdrew shortly before emission, so that the seed fell outside—عَزَلَ

Said of the مُجَامِع.

he did not desire her [having] offspring—عَزَلَ عَنْهَا

The pronoun refers to the man's female slave. [Vaguely explained.]

he did not desire her [having] offspring—اِعْتَزَلَهَا

The motive is that the woman might not conceive.

1.2he (a horse) had his tail inclining to one side, by habit, not naturally—عَزِلَ

When it inclines to the right side, the Arabs count it unlucky.

33:51

تُرْجِى مَن تَشَآءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُـْٔوِىٓ إِلَيْكَ مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ وَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن تَقَرَّ أَعْيُنُهُنَّ وَلَا يَحْزَنَّ وَيَرْضَيْنَ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى قُلُوبِكُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَلِيمًا

Thou mayest defer (the turn of) any of them that thou pleasest, and thou mayest receive any thou pleasest: and there is no blame on thee if thou invite one whose (turn) thou hadst set aside. This were nigher to the cooling of their eyes, the prevention of their grief, and their satisfaction - that of all of them - with that which thou hast to give them: and Allah knows (all) that is in your hearts: and Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

Nounعَزْلَآءُ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — the lower mouth, or spout, of a leathern water-bag; the anusgenerated

[Originally the feminine of أَعْزَلُ; a noun signifying] the lower mouth, or spout, or outlet, of the leathern water-bag called مَزَادَة: the part where the water pours out from the رَاوِيَة [a word used here, as in many other places, as synonymous with مَزَادَة] and the like of it, such as the قِرْبَة in the bottom of it, where the water it holds is drawn out.

Kh says that every مزادة has عَزْلَاوَانِ [dual of عَزْلَآءُ] in its bottom.

But it is said in the M that the عزلآء is so called because it is in one of the خُصْمَان [meaning the two lower corners] of the مزادة, not in its middle; nor is it like its mouth, in which it receives the water.

[The mouth by which this kind of water-bag is filled is in the middle of the upper edge; and the عزلآء, in every instance I remember seeing, is in the hinder of the two lower corners, and is tied round with a thong: see مَزَادَةٌ in art. زيد.]

The plural is عَزَالٍ, written with the article العَزَالِى, and in the K [improperly] عَزَالِى, without the article; عَزَالَى is also allowable; and العَزَائِلُ occurs in a tradition for العَزَالِى, these two words being like الشَّائِكُ and الشَّاكِى.

[The south wind drew them forth; and when they became black and dense and heaped up, the north wind loosed their spouts, that is, made the rain pour forth.]

Said of a cloud when it discharges its pouring rain, or pours forth copious rain.

it has loosed its spouts—قَدْ حَلَّتْ عَزَالِيَهَا

it loosed its spouts—أَرْسَلَتْ عَزَالِيَهَا

Said also of the sky, to indicate the violent falling of the rain, which is likened to its descent from the spouts of the مَزَادَة [or rather of the مَزَاد or مَزَايِد].

1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredthe anus—العَزْلَآءُ

Explained as the اِسْت: it is so called as being an outlet, and as being closed by a sphincter, just as the عزلآء properly so called is closed by a thong tied round it.

Core sense — having no weapon; separated from others; a horse whose tail leans to one sidegenerated

1sand separate, or cut off, from other sands—رَمْل

1.1

Also a man not having any weapon with him; and so عُزُلٌ, which occurs in a tradition, and مِعْزَالٌ — though this last is said to mean not having a spear with him, and the first is sometimes explained as having that particular meaning.

The plural of the first, and of عُزُلٌ, is عُزْلٌ, عُزْلَانٌ, and عُزَّلٌ, which is irregular but made to accord with حُسَّرٌ, plural of the adjective حَاسِرٌ, because it is close to it in meaning; also أَعْزَالٌ, or this is the plural of عُزُلٌ; and مَعَازِيلُ, which is irregular, and this is the plural of مِعْزَالٌ as well.

Hence the adjective الأَعْزَلُ is applied to one of the سِمَاكَانِ, that is, to one of the two stars each of which is called السِّمَاكُ; because, unlike [the other سماك, that is,] الرَّامِحُ, it has no star before it that is regarded as its weapon; or because in the days of its rising there is no cold and no wind.

The عَسِيب is the bone of the tail, or the part of the tail where the hair grows.

1.5

Apparently as an adjective applied to an ass or the like: deficient in one of the حَرْقَفَتَانِ [which seems here to mean the crest of one of the two hip-bones].

Or they were so named by El-Hasan Ibn-Yesār El-Basree when Wāsil Ibn-ʿAtà and his companions withdrew from him to one of the columns of the mosque [as lecturers in a mosque commonly did, each seating himself on the ground at the foot of a column, while his hearers sat with him on the ground in a ring], and Wāsil began to lay down the doctrine of the condition between the two conditions: that the committer of a great sin is not a believer absolutely nor an unbeliever absolutely, but between the two conditions.

They are also called العُزَّالُ.
