Full Definition

استغرقX He, or it, took, took in or comprised or comprehended or included, or took up or occupied, altogether, wholly, or universally; took in the gross; engrossed; syn. اِسْتَوْعَبَ. Hence the phrase of the grammarians, لَا لِٱسْتِغْرَاقِ الجِنْسِ [لا denoting the universal inclusion of the genus]. [Hence also several other conventional usages of the word]. See also 8 [with which it is interchangeable in several cases].
2 اِسْتَغْرَقَ فِى الضَّحِكِ is like, or syn. with, اِسْتَغْرَبَ [He exceeded the usual bounds, or degree, in laughing; was immoderate in laughing]. [And in the same sense the verb is used in other cases. See also 4, last signification.]
