Full Definition
مِعْزَالٌ
A pastor who goes apart, or aside, with his cattle, and pastures them in a place remote, or separate, from men, or the people: or a pastor apart from others with his camels depasturing the herbage not previously pastured upon and seeking successively the places where rain had fallen: in this sense not an epithet of discommendation, for the doing thus is an act of the courageous and valiant of men: pl. مَعَازِيلُ.
2 And One who alights apart, or aloof, from the company of travellers; (K, TA; [من السَّفَرِ in the CK should be مِنَ السَّفْرِ;]) who alights by himself; in which sense it is an epithet of discommendation.
3 And One who separates himself from the players at the game called المَيْسِر, by reason of meanness.
4 And One who is alone in his opinion, having no one to share with him in it.
5 See also أَعْزَلُ in two places.
6 Also Weak and stupid.
