muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarفَنَدٌ فُنُودٌ إِفْنَادٌ

Core sense — he lied; he erred through extreme old age; he became weak in judgmentgenerated

1.1a saying characterized by lying, or falsehood—قَوْلٍ ذِى إِفْنَادٍ

maṣdar فَنَدٌ or فند [perhaps فَنَدَ, not فَنِدَ]; maṣdar فُنُودٌ and افند.

He lied; he said what was untrue. This is said to be the primary meaning.

A poet uses قَوْلٍ إِفْنَادٍ for it.

1.1.1he erred, or made mistakes, in extreme old age, in speech, judgment, or opinion—فَنِدَ

he made many mistakes in his speech—افند

According to As, in art. سهب.

1.1.2he became weak in judgment through extreme old age; he became unsound in mind—فَنِدَ

maṣdar فَنَدٌ and افند.

That is, his intellect, or intelligence, was denied, or disapproved.

الفَنَدُ is explained by إِنْكَارُ العَقْلِ and فَنَدَ, and also by انكر عقله [meaning أُنْكِرَ عَقْلُهُ], and in the same way افند [for which see the ism fāʿil, مُفْنِدٌ, below, as explained in the A].

This is by reason of extreme old age, or disease; primarily restricted to old age, but sometimes used without that restriction.

افند is also explained as: he became weak in intellect, or doted; and as: he became extremely aged, because one who has become so speaks perverted language — from the same verb in the sense of lying.

1.1.3he was, or became, impotent; and unthankful for God's favour—فَنِدَ

. This meaning seems likely; see فِنْدٌ.

Or it is the same as ضَمَّرَهُ [as meaning he made him light of flesh for military service], so as to be like the branch of a tree termed فِنْد.
