وَطَرٌ A want; an object of want or need: or one which one purposes to accomplish: or for which one is anxious, or desirous: pl. أَوْطَارٌ. It has no verb. You say, قَضَيْتُ وَطَرِى I accomplished, or obtained, my want, &c. And قَضَيْتُ مِنْ كَذَا وَطَرِى I accomplished my want of such a thing [so as to have no further need of it: see Kur, xxxiii. 37, in two places].
