maṣdarتَوْقِيعٌ

Core sense — he signed the writing, he added a note to itgenerated

2.1such a writing itselfتَوْقِيعٌ

.

As the phrase is commonly used today: he signed the writing, either beneath it or by endorsing it, so as to give it effect.

As generally used in earlier, though post-classical, times: he added something to the writing, after it had been finished, for the Sultan or the administrator of affairs to whom it had been submitted, so as to give it effect.

For instance, when a complaint is submitted to the Sultan or to the administrator, and one writes beneath the writing, or on the back of it, “Let the case of this person be looked into, and let his due be fully exacted for him.”

Or, according to Az, he wrote on the writing a short abstract of the things asked for, leaving out what was redundant.

From تَوْقِيعُ الدَّبَرِ ظَهْرَ البَعِيرِ, “the gall's, or sore's, marking the back of the camel”: as though the مُوَقِّع on the writing marked the case about which the writing was written with what confirmed it and made carrying it out obligatory.

Also مَا يُوَقَّعُ فِى كِتَابٍِ; its plural is تَوْقِيعَاتٌ.

It is said to be an Islamic term, not old Arabic.

Also: he made an entry of a note, or of notes, or the like, in the writing or book; see an example under ضِعْف.

2.1.1he blamed him; he reproved him angrily, or severelyوقّع بِهِ
