5 تَأَثًّفَتِ القِدْرُ ذ The cooking-pot was put upon the أَثَافِى. (TA.) -A2- تَأَثَّفُوهُ They surrounded him, or it: (S, K: *) they became around him, or it, like the أُثْفِيَّة[or rather like the أَثَافِى]: (M:) they collected themselves together around him, or it. (A, TA.) ― -b2- تأثّف المَكَانَ, (T, S, K,) or بِالمَكَانِ, (M,) He (a man, S) kept to the place; (T, K;) remained in it; (M;) did not quit it. (AZ, T, S, M.) ― -b3- تأثّفهُalso signifies He followed after him, and pressed or importuned him, and ceased not to incite him. (T, K.) In my opinion, [says Az,] this is not in any way derived from الأُثْفِيَّةُ; but from أَثَفْتُ الرَّجُلَ, meaning “ I followed the man.” (T.) ― -b4- And تأثّفوا عَلَى الأَمْرِ They aided, or assisted, one another to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair. (M, L.)
