1 غَضَّ طَرْفَهُ ذ , (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. يَغُضُّ, (Msb, * TA,) [and يَغْضُضْ may be used, in the dial. of El-Hijáz, instead of its contracted form يَغُضَّ,] imp. غُضَّ, (S, A,) in the dial. of Nejd, (S,) and اُغْضُضْ, in the dial. of El-Hijáz, (S,) inf. n. غَضٌّ (Msb, K) and غِضَاضٌ, with kesr, (A, K,) and غَضَاضٌ and غَضَاضَةٌ, with fet-h, (K,) He lowered his eye, or eyes; (S, A, Msb, K;) as also غَضَّ مِنْ طَرْفِهِ; (Msb;) [the من being redundant, accord. to some; but see what is said on this point below:] and he contracted his eye, or eyes; syn. كَسَرَهُ; [so as to wrinkle the lids;] or he blinked; i. e. he contracted his eyelids, or drew them near together, and looked: [this signification is very common:] and he contracted (كَسَرَ) his eye, or eyes, and looked towards the ground, not opening his eye [or eyes]: and sometimes it indicates a state of abasement. (TA.) Also غَضَّ alone, inf. n. غَضَاضَةٌ, He contracted his eyelids; like أَغْضَى: he looked languishingly. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [xxiv. 30], قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ, in which some of the grammarians hold من to be redundant; but the meaning is obvious, i. e. [Say thou to the believers] that they shall abridge their look, or view, from what is prohibited to them: (Sgh:) or that they shall restrain somewhat of their look, or view. (TA.) ― -b2- [And hence,] (assumed tropical:) He bore with forgiveness and silence what was disagreeable, or hateful, or evil.

(A, TA. *) ― -b5- غَضَّ مِنْهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. يَغُضُّ, (S, TA,) inf. n. غَضٌّ (Msb, TA) and غَضَاضَةٌ, (Msb,) He lowered and lessened his estimation, dignity, or rank: (S, K, TA:) or he detracted from his reputation; or attributed or imputed to him, charged him with, or accused him of, a vice, fault, or the like: (Msb:) and, inf. n. غَضَاضَةٌ, he disdained it, or scorned it; as also مِنْهُ ↓ اغتضّ . ('Alee Ibn-Hamzeh, TA.) ― -b6- Also غَضَّهُ, (K,) aor. as above, inf. n. غَضٌّ, (TA,) He lessened it, diminished it, or made it defective or deficient; (K, TA;) and so ↓ غَضْغَضَهُ , (K,) inf. n. غَصْغَضَةٌ. (TA.) You say غَضَضْتُ السِّقَآءَ I lessened, diminished, or made defective or deficient, [the contents of] the skin. (Msb.) And المَآءَ ↓ غَضْغَضْتُ I lessened, &c., the water. (S.) And ↓ فُلَانٌ بَحْرٌ لَا يُغَضْغَضُ Such a one is a sea, or great river, that will not be lessened, &c.: (S:) or that will not become exhausted. (Har p. 418.) [See also R. Q. 1 below, and R. Q. 2.] And [you make the former verb doubly trans., saying,] مَا غَضَضْتُكَ شَيْئًا I have not abridged thee, deprived thee, or defrauded thee, of anything. (TA.) And لَا أَغُضُّكَ دِرْهَمًا I will not abridge thee, deprive thee, or defraud thee, of a dirhem. (TA.) You also say, غَضَّ مِنَ الشَّعَرِ He shortened the hair. (M in art. قصر.) And [in like manner] one says, غَضَّ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ, i. q. طَمَّ رَأْسَهُ. (K voce طَمَّ, q. v.) ― -b7- Also He broke it (i. e. a branch, or stick, or the like,) but did not break it thoroughly; (L, K, TA;) and so ↓ غضّضهُ . (L, TA.) ― -b8- And غَضَضْتُهُ also signifies I withheld, restrained, or prevented, it; whatever it were. (S.) [Hence the phrase in the Kur xxiv, 30, accord. to an explanation given above.] You say غَضَّ العَذْلَ, or المَلَامَةَ, aor. as above, inf. n. غَصٌّ, He withheld blame. (Lth.)

(S, Msb:) or flourishing and fresh; or luxuriant: (IAar:) or beautiful and bright: (K:) and غَضَّتْ, aor. تَغِضُّ and تَغَضُّ, inf. n. غَضَاضَةٌ and غُضُوضَةٌ, said of a woman, (tropical:) she was, or became, fine-skinned, or thin-skinned, so that the blood appeared [through the skin].
