Full Definition
حَظٌّ
Fortune; or particularly good fortune; syn. جَدٌّ and بَخْتٌ: and a share, portion, or lot: or particularly a share, portion, or lot, of something good or excellent: some of the people of Hims say حَنْزٌ; but when they form a pl., they return to the original, saying حُظُوظٌ: and the ن is regarded by them as a nasal sound, not as a radical letter: and in like manner they do in the case of every word having a doubled letter, such as رُزٌّ and أُتْرُجٌّ, saying رٌنْزٌ and أُتْرُنْجٌ: the pl. is أَحُظٌّ and حُظُوظٌ and حُظُوظَةٌ and حِظَاظٌ and حُظٌّ and
أَحَاظٍ , (S, L, K, [in the CK, erroneously, أَحَاظٌ,]) irregularly, as though it were pl. of أَحْظٍ, or it is regularly formed from أَحْظٍ, which latter is [irregular, being] originally أَحْظُظٌ, [which is the original form of the pl. of pauc. mentioned above,] and another pl. is
حِظَآءٌ , (L, [and so in the TA as from the K, but in several copies of the K
, which is of one of the forms of quasi-pl. ns.,]) also irregular, being formed [from حِظَاظٌ] by a change of the second ظ [into ى and then into ء].
def.2 See also حَظِيظٌ.
