طَائِفَة [or party, &c.,] more in number, or larger, than a
فِرْقَة: pl. [of pauc.] أَفْرِقَةٌ and [of mult.] أَفْرِقَآءُ and فُرُوقٌ and فُرُقٌ: see also فِرْقَةٌ, in two places; and see فِرْقٌ: AHei says that it is itself a quasi-pl. n., applied to few and to many: 'Abd-el-Hakeem, that it occurs in the sense of a
طَائِفَة [or party, &c.], and in the sense of a single man: and El-Isbahánee, that it signifies a company of men apart from others [i. e. a party of men]: or [simply] a company [of men].
2 And A separator of himself. Hence the saying, هُوَ أَسْرَعُ مِنْ فَرِيقِ الخَيْلِ i. e. [He is swifter] than the outgoer, or outrunner, of the horses.

3 نِيَّةٌ فَرَيقٌ means مُفَرِّقٌ [i. e. A place to which one purposes journeying that separates widely]: a poet says,
[Is it true that our neighbours have gone away, so that the place to which we purpose journeying and the place to which they purpose journeying are such as separate widely]: he says فَرِيق in like manner as one applies [the epithet] صَدِيقٌ to a company of men.أَحَقٌّ أَنَّ جِيْرَتَنَا ٱسْتَقَلُّوا فَنِيَّتُنَا وَنِيَّتُهُمْ فَرِيقُ
def.2 Also A palm-tree (نَخْلَةٌ) in which is [app. meaning out of which grows] another.
