Full Definition

أُسْلُوبٌ A row of palm-trees; as also أُسْكُوبٌ. (IAar, TA in the present art. and in art. سكب. [This is app. the primary signification; as seems to be indicated, by its occupying the first place, in the TA.])
2 A road, or way, that one takes: any extended road or way: a way or direction [in which one goes]: a way, course, mode, or manner, of acting or conduct or the like: a mode, manner, sort, or species; syn. فَنٌّ: pl. أَسَالِيبُ. You say, هُوَ عَلَى أُسْلُوبٍ مِنْ أَسَالِيبِ القَوْمِ, i. e. [He is following] a way of the ways of the people, or party. And هُمْ فِى أُسْلُوبِ سَوْءٍ [They are in a bad, or an evil, way]. And سَلَكَ أُسْلُوبَهُ He pursued his way, course, mode, or manner, of acting or conduct or the like. And أَخَذَ فِى أَسَالِيبَ مِنَ القَوْلِ He began, or entered upon, modes, manners, sorts, or species, [meaning varieties, or diversities,] of speech; syn. فُنُونٍ, or أَفَانِينَ. And كَلَامُهُ عَلَى أَسَالِيبَ حَسَنَةٍ [His speech, or language, is according to good, or beautiful, modes, manners, sorts, or species]. And one says of him who is proud, أَنْفُهُ فِى أُسْلُوبٍ [His nose is kept in one direction], meaning he looks not to the right nor to the left. [Hence it is said that] أُسْلُوبٌ signifies also Elevation in the nose, from pride.
3 Also The aperture of a watering-trough, or tank, through which the water flows. (IAar, TA in art. بيب.)
