Full Definition
2 [Hence, perhaps,] تحتّم لِفُلَانٍ بِخَيْرٍ He wished such a one good: or he augured good for him.
3 See also 7.
def.2 [It was soft, yielding, crummy, or easily broken.] It is said in the S that التَّحَتُّمُ signifies الهَشَاشَةُ: but in a marginal note it is stated that there is an omission in this explanation, the right rendering being هشاشة الشَّىْءِ المأْكُولِ. One says, هُوَ ذُو تَحَتُّمٍ [It is soft, yielding, crummy, or easily broken: explained in the K by هَشَاشٌ, which is evidently a mistranscription for هَشَاشٌ, syn. with هَشٌّ]. And هُوَ غَضُّ المُتَحَتَّمِ [It is fresh, juicy, sappy, or moist, in its soft, yielding, crummy, or crumbling, nature; مُتَحَتَّمٌ being a regular Verbal.Noun]
2 It (a ثُؤْلُول [or wart] when it had become dry) crumbled, or broke into small bits. And It broke in pieces, one part upon another.
3 He ate a thing that was soft, yielding, crummy, or easily broken, in his mouth.
4 He ate the حُتَامَة, i. e., the food that remained upon the table, or what fell from it during eating, of the crumbs of bread &c. It is said in a trad. that he who eats and does this will enter Paradise.
def.3 تحتّم لِكَذَا He was, or became, cheerful, brisk, lively, or sprightly, by reason of such a thing.
