Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon

مَبْهُوتٌ

Root: بهت

Full Definition

مَبْهُوتٌ Confounded, perplexed, or amazed, and unable to see his right course: [other meanings may be seen from explanations of بُهِتَ:] accord. to Ks and the S and Sgh and the K, one should not say بَاهِتٌ nor بَهِيتٌ ; but there is no reason in analogy why he who says بَهَتَ, like نَصَرَ and مَنَعَ, should not say thus: Lb says, in the Expos. of the Fs, that they said بَاهِتٌ and بَهَّاتٌ [which latter is an intensive form] and بَهِيتٌ , which [last] may be considered as having the meaning of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, like مَبْهُوتٌ, or that of the measure فَاعِلٌ, like بَاهِتٌ; but the former is the more agreeable with analogy, and the more probable.
2 Also Calumniated, slandered, or falsely accused.
