Full Definition

احتكأتVIII The knot became tight, or firm. And احتكأ العِقْدُ فِى عُنُقِهِ The necklace became fast upon his neck.
2 [Hence,] احتكأ الشَّىْءُ فِى صَدْرِى The thing became established in my mind, so that I did not doubt respecting it: and احتكأ الأَمْرُ فِى نَفْسِى The matter became established in my mind. [See also اِحْتَكَى; and see اِحْتَكَّ in the first paragraph of art. حك.] You say also, سَمِعْتُ أَحَادِيثَ وَمَا احتكأ فِى صَدْرِى مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ (in the CK ما احكأ ) I heard stories, and nothing of them was unsettled in my mind. And لَوِ احتكأ لِى أَمْرِى لَفَعَلْتُ كَذَا Had my case been manifest to me at the first, I had done thus.
