ذَعِنَ , Present.T
ـَ Verbal.Noun ذَعَنٌ. 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. Some have used إِذْعَانٌ 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.
