Full Definition

حِوَلٌ Removal from one place to another, in a passive sense; a subst. from تَحَوَّلَ: and in an active sense; a subst. from حَوَّلَهُ; accord. to ISd, it is the latter [only]; as also حَوِيلٌ . Hence, in the Kur [xviii. 108], لَا يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حَوْلًا [They shall not desire removal from it] ـُ or, as some say, it here means ; i. e. they shall not [desire to] practise, or seek to practise, any evasion from it to another abode.
2 See also حِيَلةٌ [of which it is said to be both a syn. and a pl.].
3 And see حُولَةٌ.

def.2 Also A furrow, or trench, in the ground, in which palm-trees are planted in a row.
