Root: ولج

Full Definition

وَلِيجَةٌ Anything that is introduced, or inserted, into a thing, and that does not belong to it: any such thing is termed a وليجة of a thing.
2 هُوَ وَلِيجَتُهُمْ He is an adherent to them; one who has entered, or become introduced, or included, among them,] and not belonging to them. Pl. وَلَائِجُ.
3 وَلِيجَةٌ A particular, or special, intimate, friend, or associate, of a man; syn. خَاصَّةٌ and بِطَانَةٌ and دَخِيلَةٌ: by these syns. A'Obeyd explains it in the Kur. ix. 16: and it is applied to one and to more than one: or one whom a person takes to rely upon, or to place confidence in, not being of his family: and so some explain the word in the verse above referred to: or it there signifies an intimate friend who is one of the polytheists.
