Full Definition

شَوَّذَII The clouds covered the sun, as though it were turbaned with a dustcoloured haze inclining to yellow; as is the case in a year of drought; i. e. thin clouds containing no water surrounding it, having the hue above described.
2 شَوَّذَت الشَّمْسُ [thus in the L and K, not شُوِّذَت nor تَشَوَّذَت,] The sun inclined to setting, and became covered with such clouds [as those above described]: became turbaned with clouds.
3 شَوَّذَهُ, (Verbal.Noun تَشْوِيذٌ, L,) He turbaned him; attired him with a turban: app. from شوّذت الشمس. And شوّذ رَأْسَهُ He turbaned his head.
