إِسْتَفْصَحَX [استفصحهُ He deemed it فَصِيح as meaning chaste, or free from barbarousness, &c.; namely, a word, or phrase: and probably used in a similar sense in relation to a man: but perhaps post-classical: its pass. part. n. occurs in the Mgh, in art. بنى.]
2 اِسْتَفْصَحْتُهُ عَنْ كَذَا [I asked him, or desired him, to explain such a thing: see 4, latter half]. (O and K in art. سنح.)
