عزر

1 عَزَرَهُ ذ , aor. عَزِرَ , inf. n. عَزْرٌ, He prevented, hindered, withheld, or forbade, him; (Mgh, * O, K, * TA;) and turned him away, or back; (Mgh, * O, TA;) عَنِ الشَّىْءِ from the thing: this is the primary signification, from which others, mentioned in the next paragraph, are derived. (TA.) See 2, in eight places. ― -b2- And عَزَرْتُ البَعِيرَ. inf. n. عَزْرٌ, I tied a cord upon the خَيَاشِيم [app. meaning the upper parts of the nostrils] of the camel, and then put medicine into his mouth. (O, TA.) ― -b3- And عَزَرَ المَرُأَةَ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (K,) He compressed the woman. (K, * TA.) 2 عزّرهُ ذ , (O, TA,) inf. n. تَعْزِيرٌ, (S, O, K, TA,) He disciplined, chastised, corrected, or punished, him; (S, O, TA;) meaning he did to him that which should turn him away, or back, from evil, or foul, conduct. (Ibráheem Es-Seree, O, * TA.) ― -b2- And hence, (S,) He inflicted upon him a beating, or flogging, less than that prescribed by the law; (S, M, Mgh, * O, Msb, * K;) as also ↓ عَزَرَهُ , inf. n. عَزْرٌ: (TA: but only the inf. n. of the latter verb in this sense is there mentioned:) because it prevents the criminal from returning to disobedience: but whether this meaning belong only to the conventional language of the law or be implied in the proper signification, is disputed: (TA:) or he beat, or flogged, him with the utmost vehemence: (M, K:) or تَعْزِيرٌ signifies [simply] the act of beating. (A.) And one says, ضَرَبَهُ تَعْزِيرًا, meaning He beat him moderately; not exceeding the ordinary bounds. (TA in art. حل.) ― -b3- Also He constrained him against his will, عَلَى الأَمْرِ to do the thing, (O, K, *) and taught him by forbidding him to return to the doing of that which was at variance therewith; and so ↓ عَزَرَهُ : (IAar, O:) and he taught him the فَرَائِض and أَحْكَام [or obligatory statutes or ordinances of God]; (O;) or التَّعْزِيرُ, (Az, L,) or ↓ العَزْرُ , (K,) signifies the teaching [one] (Az, L, K) religion, (Az, L,) or بَاب الدِّين [i. e. the declaration of belief in the unity of God and in the mission of Mohammad] and the فَرَائِض and أَحْكَام. (L, K.) ― -b4- And He blamed, censured, or reproved, him; as also ↓ عَزَرَهُ , aor. عَزِرَ , inf. n. عَزْرٌ. (K.) ― -b5- And He aided, or assisted, him; as also ↓ عَزَرَهُ , inf. n. as above: (K, * TA:) and he strengthened him; (K, * TA;) and so ↓ عَزَرَهُ , inf. n. as above. (TA.) He aided him against his enemy, or enemies, by repelling the latter; (O, TA;) as also ↓ عَزَرَهُ , aor. عَزِرَ and عَزُرَ , but the former is the more chaste, inf. n. as above: (O:) or he did so time after time: or with the sword. (O, TA.) ― -b6- And He treated him with reverence, veneration, respect, or honour; (S, A, O, Msb, K;) and so ↓ عَزَرَهُ , aor. عَزِرَ and عَزُرَ , inf. n. as above. (O.) ― -b7- Also He abased him; rendered him abject, vile, despicable, or ignominious: thus it has two contr. significations. (B, TA.) ― -b8- And He loaded him, namely, an ass. (S.) عِزْرَائِيلُ ذ , as some write it, or, as others, عَزْرَائِيلُ, [The Angel of Death;] a certain angel, well known. (MF.) عَيْزَارٌ ذ A species of trees.
