1.1he went to him, or it, with briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness—نَشِطَ إِلَيْهِ

maṣdars نَشَاطٌ and مَنْشَطٌ.

He (a man, and a beast of carriage) was, or became, brisk, lively, sprightly, frisky, active, prompt, and quick; synonymous with خَفَّ and أَسْرَعَ, the contrary of كَسِلَ; or he was pleased, cheerful, happy, or willing, to do work and the like, or because of his work.

One says also تنشّط لِأَمْرِ كَذَا [to do, or on account of, such a thing, or such an affair].

1.1.1the beast of carriage became fat—نَشِطَتِ الدَّابَّةُ

Apparently from the preceding sense.

the camels went, either in a right direction or otherwise—نَشَطَتِ الإِبِلُ

Also: he passed, or crossed, from one country or the like to another. Said, for instance, of a wild bull; and in the same way of a star [meaning a planet], from one sign of the zodiac to another.

Himyán Ibn-Koháfeh says:

shāhid

أَمْسَتَ هُمُومِى تَنْشِطُ المَنَاشِطَاأَلشَّأْمَ بِى طَوْرًا وَطَوْرًا وَاسِطَا

[meaning تنشط بى الى المناشط, that is, my griefs, or disquietudes of mind, became such as to lead me out to the places to which one goes out, to Syria at one time, and at one time to Wásit].

it (a road) goes out from the main road, to the right and to the left—يَنْشِطُ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ الأَعْظَمِ

a road led them out, and they took it—نَشطَ بِهِمْ طَرِيقٌ فَأَخَذُوهُ

they loose the soul of the believer gently—تَنْشِطُ نَفْسَ المُؤْمِنِ بِقَبْضِهَا

This comes from the preceding sense.

In the CK تَقْبِضُها. This explanation is Ibn-'Aráfeh's.

1.3.2figurative · مجاز — inferredgood was her wide stretching out of her fore legs as she went along—حَسُنَ مَا نَشَطَتِ السَّيْرَ
