Full Definition

حمّقهُII , Verbal.Noun تَحْمِيقٌ, He ascribed to him حُمْق [i. e. foolishness, or stupidity, &c.].
2 حَمَّقَتْهُ الهَجْعَةُ The light sleep in the first part of the night rendered him like the أَحْمَق [i. e. foolish, or stupid, &c.]: so says IKh; and he cites, from a poet, the phrase حَمَّقَتْهُ بِهَجْعَةٍ; in which the ب is redundant, and the noun occupies the place of one in the nom. case.
3 [And hence, if correct,] حُمِّقَ He drank wine: or he became intoxicated, so that his reason departed: thus explained by IAmb; but disallowed by EzZejjájee.
