Full Definition

وَاطَأَهُIII , Verbal.Noun مُوَاطَأَةٌ and وِطَآءٌ; and تواطأهُ and توطّأهُ ; He agreed, or concurred, with him respecting a thing. The radical signification of واطأ is said to be He trod in the footsteps of another: and the signification of agreement is therefore figurative.
2 فُلَانٌ يُوَاطِئُ ٱسْمُهُ ٱسْمِى [Such a one's name agrees, or is the same, with mine].
3 لِيُوَاطِئُوا عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰه [That they may agree in the number of which God hath made sacred: Kur, ix. 37].
4 أَشَدُّ وِطَآءٌ, as some read, [in the Kur, lxxiii. 6,] signifies More, or most, suitable; [i. e., prayer, and the recitation of the Kur-án]: but some read وَطْأً, in the sense of قِيَامًا: see نَاشِئَةٌ. See 4.
