Full Definition
نَقِيضٌ
A contradictor: applied to a man: fem. with ة. You say [also], ذَا
نقيضُ ذَاكَ This is a contradictor [i. e. the contrary] of that: [or this is inconsistent with that: for] النَّقِيضَانِ لَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ وَلَا يَرْتَفِعَانِ [what are termed
نقيضان
cannot be coëxistent in the same thing, nor simultaneously nonexistent in the same thing]; as existence itself and nonexistence, and motion and rest. You say also, هٰذِهِ قَصِيدَةٌ نَقِيضُ قَصِيدَةِ
فُلَانٍ [This poem is a contradictor of the poem of such a one]. And النَّقِيضَةُ in poetry is That by which one undoes or annuls or contradicts [what another poet has said]: or نَقِيضَةُ الشِّعْرِ
consists in a poet's putting forth poetry, and another poet's undoing or annulling or contradicting it, by putting forth what is different therefrom: the subst is نَقِيضٌ: [or rather this seems to be an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant, and syn. with نَقِيضَةٌ:] and the act of the two is termed
مُنَاقَضَةٌ : the pl. of نَقِيضَةٌ is نَقَائِضُ: you speak of the نَقَائِض of Jereer and El-Farezdak.
