تَأَثًّفَتِV
The cooking-pot was put upon the
أَثَافِى.
def.2 تَأَثَّفُوهُ They surrounded him, or it: they became around him, or it, like the أُثْفِيَّة[or rather like the أَثَافِى]: they collected themselves together around him, or it.
2 تأثّف المَكَانَ, or بِالمَكَانِ, He kept to the place; remained in it; did not quit it.
3 تأثّفهُalso signifies He followed after him, and pressed or importuned him, and ceased not to incite him. In my opinion, [says Az,] this is not in any way derived from الأُثْفِيَّةُ; but from أَثَفْتُ الرَّجُلَ, meaning “ I followed the man.”
4 And تأثّفوا عَلَى الأَمْرِ They aided, or assisted, one another to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair.
