def.2 اعوزهُ الدَّهْرُ Fortune caused him to became in want, or need; or rendered him poor; [i. e.,] poverty befell him.
2 اعوزهُ الشَّىْءُ [lit., The thing caused him to want; meaning] he wanted, needed, or required, the thing, [or had it not,] and was unable to attain it: and the thing escaped him, so that he was unable to attain it, it being much wanted by him; as also الشَّىْءُ: or the latter, [virtually, like عَازَ الشَّىْءَ,] he found not the thing: but Az says that this latter phrase is not known.

4 اعوزهُ الأَمْرُ The affair was hard, or difficult, to him. So in the saying, مَسْأَلَةٌ يَخْتَلِفُ فِيهَا كِبَارُ الصَّحَابَةِ يُعْوِزُ فِقْهُهَا [A question respecting which the great men of the Companions differ;] the knowledge whereof is difficult.
def.3 And one says, مَا يُعْوِزُ لِفُلَانٍ شَىْءٌ إِلَّا ذَهَبَ بِهِ A thing does not come within sight of such a one but he takes it away: a saying disapproved by As, but held by AZ to be correct, [thus said by him with ز, ] and heard from the Arabs. [See also أَعْوَرَ, with ر.]
