Full Definition

تَقْطِيعٌ Conformation, or proportion, of a man or beast; lineament of the face: i. q. قَدٌّ, of a man: and the stature; or justness, or beauty, of the stature; of a man; syn. قَامَةٌ: and the cut, shape, fashion, or form, of anything: see an ex. voce زَبَنٌ; and also voce قَدٌّ, where it is shown that, being an attribute of a thing as well as of a person, it does not always mean stature or the like: it signifies cut, shape, fashion, or form: and more commonly conformation or proportion: and hence, beauty, or justness, of stature; and simply stature, or tallness: pl. تَقَاطِيعُ, which is more commonly used than the sing. in the present day.
