اغمّت

Root: غم

Form: 4

Full Definition

اغمّتIV The sky became clouded: or i. q. تَغَيَّرَت [i. e., became altered]: thus in the S; but some say that it is correctly تَغَيَّمَت [agreeably with the former of the explanations above]. See also 1, near the end.

def.2 مَا أَغَمَّكَ لِى and إِلَىَّ is [an expression of wonder, meaning How great grief, or sadness, dost thou occasion to me!] from الغَمُّ signifying الحُزْنُ.
2 [Accord. to the TK, أَغَمَّهُ signifies أَحْزَنَهُ; like غَمَّهُ: but this I think a mistake.
3 And Freytag explains أَغَمَّ as occurring in the Deewán of the Hudhalees signifying “ Demersit: ” but in which of its senses he uses this word he does not specify.]
