Full Definition

اصعدIV : see 1.
2 [Hence,] اصعد فِى الأَرْضِ He went through the land towards a land higher than the other [from which he came]: taken from the saying of Lth, that اصعد, Verbal.Noun إِصْعَادٌ, signifies He went towards a declivity, or a river, or a valley, higher than the other [from which he came]. And اصعد فِى البِلَادِ He went up, or upwards, through the countries, or lands. And اصعد مِنْ بَلَدِ كَذَا إِلَى بَلَدِ كَذَا He journeyed [upwards] from such a region, or town, to such another region, or town; from one that was lower to one that was higher. [And hence,] اصعد, Verbal.Noun إِصْعَادٌ, He journeyed, or went, towards Nejd, and El-Hijáz, and El-Yemen: [or towards a higher region:] and اِنْحَدَرَ signifies “ he journeyed, or went, towards El-'Irák, and Syria, and 'Omán: ” or the former, he journeyed, or went, towards the Kibleh: and the latter, “ he journeyed, or went, towards El-'Irák: ” or the former, he came to Mekkeh; but this is a defective explanation: and مُصْعَدٌ, also, is used as an Verbal.Noun of this verb; and مُنْحَدَرٌ, as an Verbal.Noun of انحدر: or اصعد, Verbal.Noun إِصْعَادٌ, he commenced a journey, or went forth; as from Mekkeh, and from ElKoofeh to Khurásán, and the like: or he commenced a journey, or the like, in any direction: and انحدر signifies “ he returned, from any town or country. ” And اصعد فِى الأَرْضِ, or فى البِلَادِ, He went away, and journeyed, through the land, or through the countries, in any direction. And اصعدت السَّفِينَةُ, Verbal.Noun إِصْعَادٌ; or صعّدت ; The ship spread her sail, and was borne along by the wind, upwards [app. meaning up a river or the like].
3 اصعد فِى الوَادِى; and صعّد فِيهِ, Verbal.Noun تَصْعِيدٌ; and , but this last is disapproved by Az; He descended, or went down, into the valley, from the part whence the torrent comes; not going to the bottom of the valley: and in like manner, اصعد فِى الأَرْضِ He descended, or went down, into the land: and صعّد فِى الجَبَلِ He descended the mountain; as well as he ascended it. Akh cites the following words of 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Hemmám Es-Saloolee, طَوْرًا فِى البِلَادِ وَأُفْرِعُ as meaning I descending, or going down, at one time, through the countries, and [another time] ascending, or going up: this, says IB, is what induced Akh to explain صعّد as he has done; but it presents no proof, because إِفْرَاعٌ has two contr. significations, that of إِصْعَادٌ and that of اِنْحِدَارٌ: and accord. to AZ, by أُصَعِّدُ the poet means I ascending, or going up, to high places; and by أُفْرِعُ, the contrary.
4 اصعد also signifies He advanced towards another.
5 And He went far; syn. أَبْعَدَ.
6 And اصعد فِى العَدْوِ He exerted himself vehemently in running.

def.2 اصعد as trans.: see 2, in two places.

def.3 اصعدت She became such as is termed صَعُود [q. v.].
2 And أَصْعَدْتُ النَّاقَةَ, and , [probably imperfectly transcribed for ,] I made the she-camel to be, or became, such as is termed صَعُود.
