i. q.
أَصْلٌ [as meaning The stock, or stem, or the root, or base, or lowest part, of a tree or plant: and the stock, or origin, of a man]; a dial. var. of جِنْسٌ, or a word mispronounced: or, as some say, a root of which the
أَرُومَة [i. e. root-stock] is erect in the ground: or the part of the
سَاق [i. e. stock, or stem,] of a tree that is in the ground, above the
عُرُوق [or roots properly so called]: pl. [of pauc.] أَجْنَاثٌ and [of mult.] جُنُوثٌ. One says, فُلَانٌ مِنْ جِنْثِكَ and جِنْسِكَ, meaning من أَصْلِكَ [i. e. Such a one is of thy stock]. And إِنَّهُ لَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى جِنْثِ صِدْقٍ [Verily he traces back his lineage to an excellent stock, or origin].
