Full Definition

عَاقٌّ Undutiful, disobedient, refractory, or illmannered, to his parent, or father; breaking, or one who breaks, his compact of obedience to his parent, or father; disobeying, or disobedient to, his father; and failing, or neglecting, to behave to him in a good, or comely, manner; [and severing, or one who severs, the tie, or ties, of relationship, by unkind behaviour to his kindred; ] and عَقٌّ signifies the same; as also عُقَقٌ , but in an intensive sense, altered from عَاقٌّ, like غُدَر and فُسَق from غَادِر and فَاسِق, in the K erroneously said to be عَقَقٌ; and عُقُقٌ ; which last signifies also [as a pl.] men severing, or who sever, the ties of relationship, by unkind behaviour to their kindred; and also remote, or distant, enemies: [and عَقُوقٌ is app. used in the sense of عَاقٌّ in the Fákihet el-Khulatà, p. 55, 1. 7 from the bottom:] the pl. of عَاقٌّ is عَقَقَةٌ, like كَفَرَةٌ, and عُقَّقٌ, like رُكَّعٌ, a form used by Ru-beh, and أَعِقَّةٌ, which is an extr. [meaning anomalous] pl. ذُقٌ , in a trad., said by Aboo-Sufyán to Hamzeh on the day of Ohod, when he passed by him slain, means ذُقٌ جَزَآءَ فِعْلِكَ [Taste thou the recompense of thy deed], or ذُقِ القَتْلَ [taste thou slaughter], يَا عَاقُّ [O undutiful, &c.; or, accord. to the explanation in the TA mentioned above, عُقَقُ, for يَا عُقَقُ, means O very undutiful, &c.].
