مَشْمُولٌ ذ A man smitten, or blown upon, by the [north, or northerly,] wind called شَمَال: (S, O:) and in like manner, a meadow, and a pool of water left by a torrent; (O;) or, applied to this last, smitten by the wind thus called so as to become cool: (S:) and hence, with ة, wine (tropical:) cool to the taste; (S, O, TA; *) or wine exposed to the شَمَال and so rendered cool and pleasant: (TA: see also شَمُولٌ:) and fire upon which the wind called the شَمَال has blown: (S, O:) and a night cold, with [wind that is called] شَمَال. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] (tropical:) One whose natural dispositions are liked, approved, or found pleasant: (K:) from [the same epithet applied to] water upon which the شَمَال has blown, and which it has cooled: or, as ISd thinks, from شَمُولٌ [q. v.]: (TA:) or مَشْمُولُ الخَلَائِقِ a man whose natural dispositions are commended; as being likened to wine that is commended: and also whose natural dispositions are discommended; as though from الشَّمَالُ, because they do not commend it when it disperses the clouds: (Har p. 285:) [for] أَخْلَاقٌ مَشْمُولَةٌ [sometimes] means discommended, evil, natural dispositions. (IAar, ISk, TA.) The saying of Aboo-Wejzeh, “ مَشْمُولَةُ الأُنْسِ مَجْنُوبٌ مَوَاعِدُهَا
” is expl. by IAar as meaning (assumed tropical:) Her familiarity passes away with the شَمَال, and her promises pass away with the جَنُوب [which is the opposite of the شَمَال]: or, as some relate it, “ مَجْنُوبَةُ الأُنْسِ مَشْمُولٌ مَوَاعِدُهَا
” [meaning in like manner, as is said in the TA, on the authority of IAar, in art. جنب: or,] accord. to ISk, meaning her familiarity is commended, because the جنوب, with rain, is desired for abundance of herbage; and her promises are not commended. (TA.) ― -b3- نَوًى مَشْمُولَةٌ, a phrase used by Zuheyr, is expl. as meaning (assumed tropical:) [A tract, or place, towards which one journeys,] that separates friends; because the [wind called] شَمَال disperses the clouds: (TA:) or it means quickly [or soon] becoming exposed to view; (ISk, O, TA;) from the fact that when the wind called the شَمَال blows the clouds, they delay not to become cleared away, and to depart: (O:) or, accord. to IAar, it means مَأْخُوذٌ بِهَا ذَاتُ الشِّمَالِ [in which the direction of the left hand is taken]. (TA.) ― -b4- In the saying, “ حَمَلَتْ بِهِ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مَشْمُولَةٌ
” the meaning is, فَرِعَةٌ [i. e. One in a state of fright became pregnant with him in a certain night]. (TA, referring to the phrase شَمْلٌ مِنْ جُنُونٍ.)
