(S, O, K.) One says, تغوّلت المَرْأَةُ, meaning تلوّنت [The woman varied in state or condition, or in form or appearance, &c.]: (S, O, TA:) and in like manner تغوّلت is said of the غُول [q. v.]. (TA.) And The woman made herself to be like the غُول. (TA.) And تَغَوُّلُ الفَلَاةِ means The dubious, and varying, state or condition, of the desert, or waterless desert. (TA.) And one says also, تغوّل الأَمْرُ (tropical:) The affair, or case, became altered so as to be unknown; [for تَنَاكَرَ, in my original, I read تَنَكَّرَ;] and became dubious, or confused. (TA.) ― -b2- And تغوّلت الأَرْضُ بِفُلَانٍ: see 1, former half. ― -b3- And تَغَوَّلَتْهُمُ الغُولُ is said of them who have been made to deviate from, miss, or lose, the right way [by the غُول; i. e. it means The غول made them to deviate &c.].
