تبصّرهُV He looked at it; namely, a thing: or looked long at it: or glanced lightly at it: like رَمَقَهُ: or he sought, or endeavoured, to see it: or i. q. أَبْصَرَهُ, in a sense explained above; see 4. You say also, تَبَصَّرْ لِى فُلَانًا [Consider thou, or examine thou, for me, such a one, that thou mayest obtain a clear knowledge of him]. And تبصّر فِى شَىْءٍ He considered a thing, endeavouring to obtain a clear knowledge of it; he looked into it, considered it, examined it, or studied it, repeatedly, until he knew it: he sought, or sought leisurely, or repeatedly, after the knowledge of it, until he knew it. And تبصّر فِى رَأْيِهِ signifies the same as استبصر فِيهِ, i. e. He sought, or endeavoured, to see, or discover, what would happen to him, of good and evil.
