Full Definition
جانسهُIII
, [Verbal.Noun مُجَانَسَةٌ and جِنَاسٌ,] It was, or became, homogeneous, or congenial, with it; or similar, or conformable, to it; syn. شَاكَلَهُ: المُجَانَسَةُ is from الجِنْسُ. You say, هٰذَا يُجَانِسُ هٰذَا
This is homogeneous with this; syn. يُشَاكِلُهُ: so says Kh. And كَيْفَ يُؤَانِسُكَ مَنْ لَا يُجَانِسُكَ [How will he be sociable with thee who will not be congenial with thee?]. And of a man who has not discrimination nor intelligence, one says, فُلَانٌ يُجَانِسُ البَهَائِمَ وَلَا يُجَانِسُ النَّاسَ [Such a one resembles the beasts, and does not resemble men]: so says Kh. But As says that this usage, in the first and last of the above-mentioned phrases, is post-classical. The usage of the term جِنَاسٌ by rhetoricians [to signify the complete or partial conformity of two or more words] is post-classical [like تَجْنِيسٌ].
