أَحْوَذِىٌّ Quick in journeying, or in pace; one who goes a journey of ten nights in three. And hence, Quick in everything that he undertakes: quick, sharp, and active in affairs: active and skilful: active in a thing by reason of his skilfulness: applied [as meaning active by reason of expertness] to the wing of a bird of the kind called قَطًا, by a poet. namely, Homeyd Ibn-Thowr: quick in his affairs, who prosecutes them, or carries them on, well: one who prosecutes, or carries on, affairs in the best manner, by reason of his knowledge thereof: one who manages things skilfully, well, or thoroughly: ready, or prompt, in affairs, who masters them, and to whom nothing is out of his way, or sphere, or compass; as also حَوِيذٌ : one who overcomes, or masters. And أَحْوَزِىٌّ signifies the same. (S and K &c. in art. حوز.)
2 It is applied by a poet to thick water (مَآءٌ مِنَ الطَّثْرَةِ) as meaning Quick in moving the bowels.
