Root: بقل
Full Definition
بَقْلٌ
a word of which the meaning is well known; [Leguminous, or tender, plants; such as we term herbs; i. e. plants, or vegetables, that may be gathered, with the hand, or depastured down to the ground, and that are only annuals;] plants which are neither shrubs nor trees; such as, when depastured, have no stem remaining; thus differing from trees and shrubs, which have stems remaining [when they have been depastured]: or the herbs, or herbage, produced by [the rain, or the season, called] the
رَبِيع: or whatever herbs, or plants, grow from seed, not upon a permanent
أَرُومَة [i. e. root-stock, or root]: and accord. to this definition may be explained the saying that the cucumber is of the things termed بُقُولٌ [pl. of بَقْلٌ, meaning sorts, or species, of
بَقْل], not of those termed فَوَاكِهُ: or the kind of which the root and branch do not last in the winter: or, it is said, any plants, or herbs, whereby the earth becomes green: [pl. of pauc. أَبْقَالٌ: the pl. of mult. has been mentioned above:] the n. un. is with ة, i. e. بَقْلَةٌ. Hence the prov., لَا تُنْبِتُ البَقْلَةَ إِلَّا الحَقْلَةُ [Nothing produces the leguminous, or tender, plant, or herb, but the clear and open piece of good land]: [i. e., only a good parent produces good offspring: ] it is said to be applied to the case of a vile saying proceeding from a vile man. (TA in art. حقل.) The saying بَاعَ الزَّرْعَ وَ هُوَ بَقْلٌ means [He sold the seedproduce] when it was green, not yet ripe.
