خَلِيعٌ

Full Definition

خَلِيعٌ Pulled off; stripped, or taken, off; put, or thrown, or cast, off; i. q. مَخْلُوعٌ ; applied [to a garment, and a sandal, or the like, or], accord. to some, to anything.
2 [Hence, used as a subst., A cast-off, or] an old, and wornout, garment. You say, هُوَيَكْسُوهُ مِنْ خَلِيعِهِ [He clothes him with some of his cast-off, or old, and worn-out, apparel].
3 See also خَلْعٌ.
4 A person whose property is won from him in a game of hazard; as also مَخْلُوعٌ .
5 خَلِيعُ العِذَارِ A man who does and says what he pleases; not caring, nor fearing God nor the blame of men; like the beast that has no halter on its head. Also applied to a woman in a state of estrangement [from her husband; lit., Having her headstall, or halter, pulled off, or thrown off; she being likened to a mare; meaning, without restraint]; having none to command or forbid her: [see 1:] incorrectly written خَلِيعَةُ العِذَارِ; for خليع is here of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: or you say خَلِيفَةٌ without mentioning the عذار, from خَلَعَةٌ, like ظَرِيفَةٌ and لَطِيفَةٌ [from ظَرَافَةٌ and لَطَافَةٌ]. [See also خَالِعٌ.]
6 خَلِيعٌ is also applied to a Khaleefeh, and a prince or the like, meaning Divested of his authority; removed from his office; deposed; as also مَخْلُوعٌ : and it is a strange thing, noticed by Dmr and others, that every sixth is مخلوع.
7 Also A young man, or a son, and a confederate, cast off, repudiated, or renounced, by his family, or father, or confederates, so that if he commit a crime, or an offence rendering liable to punishment, they, i. e. his family, or he, i. e. his father, or they, i. e. his confederates, shall not be prosecuted, or punished, for it; as also مَخْلُوعٌ : pl. of the former, خُلَعَآءُ: and a young man thus cast off by his family, who commits, or has committed, many crimes, or offences rendering him liable to punishment; as also خَوْلَعٌ : one alienated or estranged [from his family]: one who has broken off from his family, and disagreed with them, and wearied them by his wickedness and baseness and guile; as though he had thrown off his headstall or halter, [i. e., restraint,] and who does what he will; or because his family have cast him off, and declared themselves clear of him; or because he has cast off his kinsfolk, and they have declared themselves clear of him; or because he is divested of religion and shame; fem. with ة: (K: [indicating that it is a part. n. of خَلُعَ; not of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, as is implied by some portions of the explanations here given:]) bad, evil, wicked, or mischievous: [vitious, or immoral: (see خَلَاعَةٌ, whence it is derived:)] notorious for drinking and play: [in the present day commonly used in this sense; and as signifying waggish; or a way:] a player, with another, at a game of hazard, or for stakes laid by both of them to be taken by the winner; as also مُخَالِعٌ ; because the best, or choice part, of his property (خُلْعَتُهُ) is [often] won from him: one who applies himself constantly to games of that kind: and خَوْلَعٌ signifies a player at games of that kind, who has had the punishment termed حَدٌّ inflicted upon him, and is always overcome in such games, or who is fortunate, and always overcomes in such games. (K, accord. to different copies; in some of which we read المُقَامِرُ المَحْدُودُ الَّذِى يُقْمَرُ أَبَدًا; and in others, المقاصر المَجْدُودُ الذى يَقْمُرُ ابدا.)
8 A hunter, fowler, or fisherman; so called because he is alone.
