(K.) ― -b2- He affected what is جَمِيل [or beautiful, goodly, comely, or pleasing, in person, or in action or actions or behaviour, or in moral character, &c.]. (S.) You say, تجمّل بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عِنْدَهُ [He affected beautiful, goodly, comely, or pleasing, qualities, more than he possessed]. (TA in art. شبع.) ― -b3- He was, or became, patient; or restrained himself from impatience; or constrained himself to be patient: (Mgh, TA:) from جَمَالٌ meaning "patience." (Mgh.) Hence the saying, “ وَإِِذَا تُصِبْكَ خَصَاصَةٌ فَتَجَمَّلِ
” And when poverty, or straitness, befalls thee, then be patient, or restrain thyself &c. (Mgh in art. خص.) -A2- He ate what is termed جَمِيل, i. e., melted fat. (S, K. *)
