Full Definition

تسقّىV It received, or admitted, moisture, or irrigation; or became plentifully irrigated, or succulent, or sappy. The Hudhalee says. مُجَدَّلٌ يَتَسَقَّى جِلْدُهُ دَمَهُ كَمَا تَقَطَّرَ جِذْعُ الدَّوْمَةِ القُطُلُ meaning [Thrown down upon the ground, his skin] becomes drenched with his blood (يَتَشَرَّبُهُ) [like as drips the severed trunk of the Theban palm-tree]: or, as some relate the verse, يَتَكَسَّى [becomes overspread, here meaning suffused], from الكِسْوَةُ.
2 تَسَقَّتِ الإِبِلُ الحَوْذَانَ The camels ate the حوذان in its fresh and moist state, and became fat upon it.
