انتعش

Root: نعش

Form: 8

Full Definition

انتعشVIII He rose; or became raised, or lifted up: he rose after his stumble, or trip: and in like manner you say of a bird, meaning it rose [after falling or alighting], and he raised his head. Hence the saying, تَعَسَ فَلا ٱنْتَعَشَ May he fall, having stumbled, or stumble and fall, and not rise [again]: a form of imprecation. And hence the saying of 'Omar, اِنْتَعِشْ نَعَشَكَ ٱللّٰهُ Rise thou: may God raise thee: or نعشك اللّٰه has here one of the two meanings assigned to it before, in 1.
2 [And hence,] He recovered, or became recovered, from his embarrassment, or difficulty.
