[And غَزَا alone, the objective complement being understood, often signifies the same; or He engaged in a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition, or in such expeditions.]
3 And غَزَا إِلَيْهِ, Verbal.Noun as above, He tended, repaired, betook himself, or went, to, or towards, him, or it; syn. قَصَدَهُ.
def.2 غَزَاوَةٌ, mentioned above, is of a measure which in most instances is that of an Verbal.Noun of an intrans. verb, and it seems to be an Verbal.Noun of which the verb is غَزُوَ, meaning جَادَ غَزْوُهُ [i. e. Excellent, or how excellent, is his engaging in a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition, or in such expeditions!]; and to be similar to قَضُوَ meaning جَادَ قَضَآءُهُ, and ضَرُبَتْ يَدُهُ meaning جَادَ ضَرْبُهَا.
