muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarهُزْءٌ هَزْءٌ

Core sense — he mocked at him, he scoffed at him, he derided himgenerated

1.1he mocked at him, scoffed at him, laughed at him, derided him—بِهِ

he mocked at him, scoffed at him, laughed at him, derided him—هَزِئَ

These are followed by منه and به, but according to Yoo we should say هزئ به only, not منه.

maṣdar هُزْءٌ, هُزُؤٌ, هُزُوْءٌ, مَهْزَأَةٌ, تهزّأ به and استهزأ به.

1.1.1

The most approved reading of مُسْتَهْزِئُونَ in the Qur'ān, 2:13, is with the ء fully pronounced; some lighten it; some read مُسْتَهْزِيُرنَ, and some مُسْتَهْزُونَ (but this pronunciation rests on weak authority); and they say إِسْتَهْزَيْتُ for إِسْتَهْزَأْتُ.

1.1.2figurative · مجاز[The mirage mocks the company of riders]—السَّرَابُ يَهْزَأُ بِالرَّكْبِ

1.2he, or it, broke a thing—هَزَأَ

1.2.1

A poet says, describing a coat of mail: [It has creases that repel the arrows, making them recede, and break the broad and long arrow-heads, and those which are small and broad]

shāhid

لَهَا عُكَنْ تَرُدُّ النَّبْلَ خَنْسًاوَتَهْزَأُ بِالْمَعَابِلِ وَالقِطَاعِ

The ب in بالمعابل is redundant. This is the opinion of the lexicologists, except ISd, who thinks it an error, and that تهزأ here means “mocks.”

1.3he killed his camels with cold—هَزَأَ إِبِلَهُ

Some think this may be a mistake for هَرَأَ.

Maṣdar هَزْءٌ and اهزأ ها.

IAar says that اهزأهُ البَرْدُ and اهرأهُ both mean: the cold killed him.

1.4he put the beast he rode in motion, or excited it—هَزَأَ

1.5he died in his place, on the spot—هَزَأَ

he died in his place, on the spot—هَزِئَ

on this sense That is, unexpectedly, or suddenly. Ibn-Es-Sáïgh objected to this, but improperly.
