Full Definition

انضجIV He rendered fruit, or flesh-meat, perfectly fit for being used, or for being eaten: rendered ripe, or mature: thoroughly cooked: it rendered fruit ripe, or mature; ripened, or matured it.
2 AHn uses this verb in a strange manner, explaining the expression نَبَاتٌ مَهْرُوْءٌ by the words أَلَّذِى قَدْ أَنْضَجَهُ البَرْدُ [meaning, a plant, or herbage, that is nipped, shrunk, shrivelled, or blasted, by the cold]: this is strange because إِنْضَاج is an effect of heat; not of cold. [See أَحْرَقَ.]
3 أَنْضِجْ رَأْيَكَ Mature thy judgment, or thine opinion].
4 لَا يُنْضِجُ السكُرَاعَ, or لَا كُرَاعًا, [He does not thoroughly cook the slender part of the leg of a sheep, or the like]: i. e., he is weak, and of no use, or does not possess a competence.
5 [انضج also signifies It matured, or caused to suppurate, an ulcer or the like; as also نضّج .]
