Full Definition
2 And He was remiss, wanting, deficient, or defective, in an affair, setting up an excuse [for being so]; fell short, or did less than was incumbent on him, in it; did not exert himself, or act vigorously, in it; causing it to be imagined that he had an excuse when he had none. You say, قَامَ فُلَانٌ قِيَامَ تَعْذِيرٍ Such a one acted remissly, falling short, or doing less than was incumbent on him. And it is said in a story of the Children of Israel, نَهَاهُمْ أَحْبَارُهُمْ تَعْذِيرًا Their learned men forbade them remissly: the Verbal.Noun being here put in the place of the act. part. n. as a denotative of state; as it is in جَآءَ مَشْيًا. [See also 4.]
