Full Definition
نِقْضٌ
i. q.
مَنْقُوضٌ [Undone; taken, or pulled, to pieces: untwisted: unravelled: unwoven: dissolved; broken: &c. ] like نِكْثٌ in the sense of مَنْكُوثٌ: as also
نُقْضٌ ; and
نَقَضٌ : but El-Ghooree allows only the first: Az, however, mentions only the second; which signifies as above, applied to a building, or structure; or what has become taken, or pulled, to pieces, (مَا ٱنْتَقَضَ,) of a building, or structure; as also the first: or نَقْضٌ signifies مَا نَقَضْتَ
what thou hast undone; taken, or pulled, to pieces; untwisted; &c.]: and what is undone, of [the stuff of the tents called] أَخْبِيَة, and of [the garments called] أَكْسِيَة, and twisted a second time; as also
نَقَضٌ ; and
نُقَاضَةٌ : or this last signifies what is undone of a hair-rope: the pl. of نِقْضٌ is أَنْقَاضٌ [a pl. of pauc.], and of the same, or of
نُقْضٌ , نُقُوضٌ.
