4 اذعن لَهُ ذ , (S, Msb, * K, &c.,) inf. n. إِِذْعَانٌ, (Msb,) He was, or became, quick in obedience to him, or it: (K:) this is its [proper, or primary,] meaning, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, in the language of the Arabs: (TA:) and he acknowledged, or confessed, to him: (K:) and he was, or became, lowly, or humble, and abject, to him: (S, K:) and he was, or became, tractable, submissive, or manageable, to him; (S, * Msb, * K, TA;) and easy; (K, * TA;) not disobedient; (Msb;) as also ↓ ذَعِنَ , aor. ذَعَنَ , (K,) inf. n. ذَعَنٌ. (TA.) You say, اذعن لِى بِحَقِّى He obeyed me with respect to that [right, or due,] which I sought to obtain from him, and hastened to render it: and he acknowledged, or confessed, to me my right, or due, willingly, not against his will; as also أَمْعَنَ. (TA.) Some have used إِِذْعَانٌ as meaning Perception, and understanding: but there is no foundation for this in the language of the Arabs; and its being tropical, as some of the sheykhs have endeavoured to show it to be, is improbable.
