جَنَّةٌ
A [garden, such as is called] بُسْتَان: or a garden, or walled garden, (حَدِيقَة, Msb, K,) of trees, or of palm-trees, or of palms and other trees: or only if containing palm-trees and grape-vines; otherwise, if containing trees, called حديقة: or any
بستان
having trees by which the ground is concealed: and sometimes concealing trees: and palm-trees: or tall palm-trees: or shadowing trees; because of the tangling, or luxuriousness of their branches; as though concealing at once what is beneath them: then a
بستان; because of its dense and shadowing trees: or a
بستان
of palms and other trees, dense, and shadowing by the tangling, or luxuriousness, and denseness, of their branches; as though it were originally the Verbal.Noun of un. of جَنَّهُ, and meaning “ a single act of veiling ” or “ concealing ” &c.: then, with the article ال, [Paradise,] the abode of recompense; because of the جِنَان therein; or because the various delights prepared therein for mankind are concealed in the present state of existence: [and] hence الجَنَّاتُ [the gardens of Paradise], or جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ [the gardens of continual abode]: [for] the pl. of جَنَّةٌ is أَجِنَّةٌ and جِنَيْنَة and جُنَّةٌ, but this last is strange. [Dim.
جُنَيْنَةٌ , vulgarly pronounced جِنَيْنَة, and applied to A garden; as though it were a little Paradise.]
