مَشْمُولٌ

Full Definition

مَشْمُولٌ A man smitten, or blown upon, by the [north, or northerly,] wind called شَمَال: and in like manner, a meadow, and a pool of water left by a torrent; or, applied to this last, smitten by the wind thus called so as to become cool: and hence, with ة, wine cool to the taste; or wine exposed to the شَمَال and so rendered cool and pleasant: (TA: see also شَمُولٌ:) and fire upon which the wind called the شَمَال has blown: and a night cold, with [wind that is called] شَمَال.
2 [Hence,] One whose natural dispositions are liked, approved, or found pleasant: from [the same epithet applied to] water upon which the شَمَال has blown, and which it has cooled: or, as ISd thinks, from شَمُولٌ [q. v.]: or مَشْمُولُ الخَلَائِقِ a man whose natural dispositions are commended; as being likened to wine that is commended: and also whose natural dispositions are discommended; as though from الشَّمَالُ, because they do not commend it when it disperses the clouds: [for] أَخْلَاقٌ مَشْمُولَةٌ [sometimes] means discommended, evil, natural dispositions. The saying of Aboo-Wejzeh, مَشْمُولَةُ الأُنْسِ مَجْنُوبٌ مَوَاعِدُهَا is expl. by IAar as meaning Her familiarity passes away with the شَمَال, and her promises pass away with the جَنُوب [which is the opposite of the شَمَال]: or, as some relate it, مَجْنُوبَةُ الأُنْسِ مَشْمُولٌ مَوَاعِدُهَا [meaning in like manner, as is said in the TA, on the authority of IAar, in art. جنب: or,] accord. to ISk, meaning her familiarity is commended, because the جنوب, with rain, is desired for abundance of herbage; and her promises are not commended.
3 نَوًى مَشْمُولَةٌ, a phrase used by Zuheyr, is expl. as meaning [A tract, or place, towards which one journeys,] that separates friends; because the [wind called] شَمَال disperses the clouds: or it means quickly [or soon] becoming exposed to view; from the fact that when the wind called the شَمَال blows the clouds, they delay not to become cleared away, and to depart: or, accord. to IAar, it means مَأْخُوذٌ بِهَا ذَاتُ الشِّمَالِ [in which the direction of the left hand is taken].
4 In the saying, حَمَلَتْ بِهِ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مَشْمُولَةٌ the meaning is, فَرِعَةٌ [i. e. One in a state of fright became pregnant with him in a certain night]. (TA, referring to the phrase شَمْلٌ مِنْ جُنُونٍ.)
