Full Definition

أَغْمَزَتْIV She had fat, or a little fat, in her hump. Hence the epithet غَمُوزٌ , applied to her.

def.2 اغمز فِى فُلَانٍ He blamed, or found fault with, such a one; attributed or imputed to him, or charged him with, or accused him of, a vice, or fault; deemed him weak; lessened his rank, or dignity: he found in him that for which he should be deemed weak: and he impugned his character; blamed him; censured him; or spoke against him. You say, فَعَلْتُ شَيْئًا فُلَانٌ I did a thing, and such a one impugned my character, or found in it that by which my character was impugned. And سَمِعَ مِنِّى كَلِمَةً فِى عَقْلِهِ He heard from me a saying, and deemed it weak: and in like manner, أَغْمَزَ فِيهَا found in it that for which it was to be deemed weak.

def.3 أَغْمَزَنِى الحَرُّ The heat remitted, or abated, to me, so that I became emboldened to encounter it, and went upon the road: Az says الحَرُّ, on the authority of AA: and AA mentioned اغمرنى الحرّ in this sense, but afterwards doubted, and said, I think that it is with زاى. (TA in art. غمر.)
2 And أَغْمَزَ He became gentle, so that others were emboldened against him.

def.4 And أَغْمَزَ [for which أَغْمَزَه is erroneously put in the CK] He acquired cattle such as are termed غَمَز [q. v.]: like أَقْمَزَ.
