Full Definition

تعلّثV He, or it, clung, clave, or held fast, بِهِ to it [or him]. (TK. [See also 5 in art. غلث.])

def.2 Also He made, or did, [a thing] faultily, or unsoundly. [Accord. to the TK, one says, تعلّث السَّهْمَ, meaning He made the arrow faultily, or unsoundly: but this is perhaps a mistake: see 8.]
2 And i. q. تَمَحَّلَ: Fr says, تَعَلَّثْتُ لَهُ الذُّنُوبَ is like تَمَحَّلْتُ [app. meaning I laboured, and exercised art or management, in seeking to do to him misdeeds: see art. محل].
