Full Definition
طَغْوَى
a subst. from the verb طَغَا, [and] so is
طُغْيَانٌ , or the latter is an Verbal.Noun, and, accord. to Az, so is طَغْوَى, and so too is
طَغْيَا , which latter is said by Zj to be the original of طَغْوَى: it is like طُغْوَانٌ and طُغْيَانٌ. Hence, in the Kur [xci. 11], كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا [Thamood disbelieved by reason of their exorbitance]; meaning that they did not believe when they were threatened with the punishment of their طُغْيَان: or, as is said in the Expos. of Bkh, the meaning is, by reason of their acts of disobedience.
