Full Definition

تساقطVI : see its variation اِسَّاقَطَ in 1; first sentence.
2 It fell in consecutive portions or quantities [like the leaves of a tree, &c.; by degrees; gradually]. A poet says, كَنَجْمِ الثُّرَيَّا وَأَمْطَارِهَا وَيَوْمٍ تَسَاقَطُ لَذَّاتُهُ i. e. [Many a day] of which the pleasures come one thing after another; [such a day being like the asterism of the Pleiades, and the pleasures thereof like its rains;] meaning the abounding of its pleasures. And you say, تَسَاقَطَ إِلَىَّ خَيْرُ فُلَانٍ [The wealth of such a one fell, or came, to me, one thing after another].
3 تساقط عَلَى الشَّىٌءِ He threw himself upon the thing. You say, تساقط عَلَى الرَّجُلِ يَقِيه بِنَفْسِهِ [He threw himself upon the man, protecting him with his own person].
