Full Definition

تَعَجَّسَV see 1, in six places.
2 تعجّسهُ also signifies He reckoned, or esteemed, his judgment, or opinion, weak.
3 And He upbraided him, or reproached him, for a thing, or an affair, which he had commanded him to do.
4 And تعجّس أَمْرَهُ He searched repeatedly after the knowledge of his affair, or case. Hence, in a trad., فَيَتَجَّسُكُمْ فِى قُرَيْشٍ And he seeks repeatedly after you among Kureysh.
5 And تعجّست الأَرْضَ غُيُوثٌ Rains fell, one after another, upon the earth, or land, and bore heavily upon it.

def.2 تعجّس الرَّجُلُ The man went forth in a last portion, before daybreak, ( , O, or , K, [but see what follows,]) of the night: El-Marrár Ibn-Sa'eed El-Fak'asee says, describing his travelling-companions, وَإِذَا هُمُ ٱرْتَحَلُوا بِلَيْلٍ حَابِسٍ أُخْرَى النُّجُومِ [And when they departed in an impeding night, in the last period of the appearance of the stars, in a last portion of the night of him who goes forth at that time]. (O: in which بعجسة is thus written, with fet-h and damm, and with مَعًا above them.) [It is also said in the O , and likewise in the K and TA , in all of them probably from one and the same source, that means المُتَشَمْخِرُ; and it is added in the TA that this has been mentioned in its place: but it is not mentioned in its proper art. in the O nor in the K nor in the TA; and it is evidently a mistranscription, for المُسْتَحِرُ, part. n. of اِسْتَحَرَ (q. v. voce أَسْحَرَ), and therefore I have rendered المُتَعَجِّس as above.]
