حَانُوتٌ
(Mgh and K in this art., and Msb in art. حون, and mentioned also in the K in arts. حنت and حين) A shop; as also
حَانَاةٌ and
حَانِيَةٌ , but this last was unknown to Sb: [see دُكَّانٌ, in art. دكن:] and particularly the house [or shop] of a vintner, in which wine is sold; as also حَانَةٌ [mentioned in art. حون]; called by the people of El-'Irák مَاخُورٌ: the first of these words (i. e. حانوت) is said to be of the measure فَعَلُوتٌ, like مَلَكُوتٌ and رَهَبُوتٌ; the و [of the root] being changed into ا, as in طَالُوتٌ and جَالُوت and the like: or originally فَعَلُوتٌ, and then فَلَعُوتٌ, like طَاغُوت: or it is originally حَانُوةٌ, like تَرْقُوَةٌ: or it is originally of the measure فَاعُولٌ; so says El-Fárábee; from حَنَوْتٌ; what is so called being likened to the building termed حَنِيَّةٌ; the ت being a substitute for و, as is said by AAF, and being originally ة, changed into ت because of the quiescent letter before it: Az says that the ت is augmentative: the word is fem. and masc.: accord. to Zj, when masc., meaning بَيْتٌ: pl. حَوَانِيتُ.
2 Also The vintner himself: (K in art. حنت:) [like حَانِىٌّ &c.]
