أَقَذُّ

Root: قذ

Full Definition

أَقَذُّ An arrow without feathers upon it; like as أَفْوَقُ, applied to an arrow, signifies “ having no notch: ” or of which the feathers have fallen off: or just pared, before it is feathered: also, a feathered arrow: or that is evenly pared, without any deviation from a straight shape: pl. قُذٌّ: and pl. of قُذٌّ, قِذَاذٌ. (S, L. [See an ex. voce أَحْشَنُ.])
2 مَا لَهُ أَقَذُّ وَلَا مَرِيشٌ He has not anything: or he has not either property or people. A proverb.
3 مَا أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُ أَقَذَّ وَلَا مَرِيشًا I gained not from him anything: or I obtained not from him good, either little or much. Ibn-Háni relates this saying, on the authority of Aboo-Málik, differently, saying أَفَذَّ, with ف, instead of اقذّ, from فَذٌّ in the sense of فَرْدٌ.
4 In another proverb it is said, مَا تَرَكْتُ لَهُ أَقَذَّ وَلَا مَرِيشًا [I left not to him anything].
