إِبَّانٌ

Root: ابن

Full Definition

إِبَّانٌ The time of a thing; (T, S, M, K, and Msb in art. اب;) the season of a thing; the time of the preparing, or making ready, of a thing; as, for instance, of fruit, of the fresh ripe dates, and of the gathering of fruits, and of heat or cold: or the first of a thing. You say, أَخَذَ الشَّىْءَ بِإِبَّانِهِ He took the thing in its time: or in, or with, the first thereof. The ن is radical, so that it is of the measure فِعَّالٌ; or, as some say, augmentative, so that it is of the measure فِعْلَانٌ. [See art. اب.]
