2.1.1he called the noun by an appellation giving its measure—لقّب الإِسْمَ بِالفِعْلِ

That is, بِالفَاءِ وَالعَيْنِ وَاللَّامِ.

The noun's radical letters are represented by ف, ع and ل, and this appellation is its measure; so جَوْرَبٌ is called فَوْعَلٌ.

Core sense — a by-name, a surname, a nickname; an insulting appellationgenerated

1do not call one another by nicknames—لَا تَنَابَزُوا بِٱلْأَلْقَابِ

A by-name, a surname, a nickname; the same as نَبَزٌ: a name of reproach, an insulting appellation. In this sense it is forbidden. The Qur'ān says, at 49:11:

That is, let none of you call another by a name he dislikes.

Also a by-name or surname that carries no reproach, such as the surnames given to certain Imāms: الأَنْمَشُ, الأَخْفَشُ, الاَّعْرَجُ and the like. Such names are not forbidden, because they are not meant as reproach or disparagement, but as mere appellations given with the approval of the persons to whom they are applied.

Plural أَلْقَابٌ.
