(TA.) For the explanation of حَزُّ الكَرَاكِر, see كِرْكِرَةٌ. -A2- A time; a particular time; [a nick of time:] (S, K:) and ↓ حَزَّةٌ signifies the same; and also a particular state or condition. (A, TA.) You say, مَجِىْءِ فُلَانٍ ↓ هٰذِهِ حَزَّةُ [This is the time of the coming of such a one]. (A.) And كَيْفَ جِئْتَ ↓ فِى هٰذِهِ الحَزَّةِ [How hast thou come at this time, or in this state?]. (A.) And ↓ لَقِيتُهُ عَلَى حَزَّةٍ مُنْكَرِةٍ [I met him at an evil time, or in an evil condition]. (A.)
