Full Definition

لَخَّصَII لخّصهُ, Verbal.Noun تَلْخِيصٌ, He explained, expounded, or interpreted, it; he made it clear; namely, language: تَلْخِيصٌ and تَبْيِينٌ and شَرْحٌ and تَخْلِيصٌ all signify the same: he went to the utmost point in explaining it, expounding it, interpreting it, and making it plain: namely, a thing; as also لحّصهُ. You say, لَخِّصْ لِى خَبَرَكَ Explain thou to me thy news, or information, thing after thing. And it is said in a trad. of 'Alee, قَعَدَ لِتَلْخِيصِ مَا ٱلْتَبَسَ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ He sat to make clear what was confused and dubious to others.
2 He made it near: [the Verbal.Noun being explained in the TA by التقريب; but I incline to think that this is a mistranscription, for التّعْرِيبُ; and that the meaning is, he made it clear, plain, distinct, or perspicuous:] he abridged it: he restricted, or limited, himself in it, namely, a saying, and abridged of it what was needful.
