7 انقضّ ذ It (a thing) broke, or became broken. (Msb.) Said of a wall, it signifies the same: (T, Msb, TA:) or it became thrown down, pulled down, pulled to pieces, demolished, or destroyed, with violence: (A:) or it fell down: (S:) or it cracked, without falling down; (M, K;) as also اِنْقَاضَّ [from نَقَضَ]; inf. n. [of the former] اِنْقِضَاضٌ; (K;) [and اِنْقَاضَ, inf. n. اِنْقِيَاضٌ;] but if it fall, you say, تَقَيَّضَ, inf. n. تَقَيُّضٌ: so says AZ: (TA:) A 'Obeyd and others reckon it a biliteral-radical word, belonging to this art.; (M;) or AZ reckons it as such; (TA;) but Aboo- 'Alee makes it a triliteral-radical, [like its syn. اِنْقَاضَّ,] from نَقَضَ, holding its measure to be اِفْعَلَّ. (M, TA.) ― -b2- It became cut in pieces. (TA.) ― -b3- [And hence,] انقضّت أَوْصَالُهُ (assumed tropical:) His connections became sundered, or separated. (TA.) [See also انفضّ.] ― -b4- [And from انقضّ as explained above on the authority of the S, or of the A, is derived the phrase] انقضّ الطَّائِرُ (S, M, A, &c.) (tropical:) The bird dropped down (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) swiftly from the air, (Mgh,) in its flight, (S, Msb,) to alight (M, K, TA) upon a thing; (TA;) [i. e. pounced down, darted down, or made a stoop;] as also ↓ تَقَضَّضَ and ↓ تَقَضَّى , (M, K,) the latter of which is formed by permutation; (M;) or only the latter of these two is used; (S;) or the latter of them is the more chaste; (TA;) for the three dáds are found difficult of pronunciation, and therefore one of them is changed into yé, like as is the case in تَظَنَّى [for تَظَنَّنَ], from الظَّنٌّ, (S, TA,) and تَمَطَّى for تَمَطَّطَ. (TA.) You say, انقضّ البَازِى عَلَى الصَّيْدِ The hawk [made a stoop, or] flew down swiftly upon the prey, or quarry. (TA.) ― -b5- Hence, (S,) انقضّ said of a star, or an asterism, (S, A,) (tropical:) [It darted down: or] it dropped down. (TA.) ― -b6- Hence also, (TA,) انقضّت عَلَيْهِمْ الخَيْلُ (tropical:) The horses, or horsemen, rushed, or went swiftly, upon them, or against them: (S, * TA:) or dispersed themselves, or became dispersed, against them, or upon them. (M, K.)
