(TA.) [See an ex. voce دَادَ , in art. دود . ― -b5- Hence, عَزَمَ is used in the present day as meaning He invited to an entertainment. ― -b6- And Freytag mentions its occurring often in the book entitled بغية المستفيد فى مدينة زبيد as signifying He went, or tended, to, or towards, ( اـِلَى ,) some place: but this signification is probably post-classical: it is correctly expressed by 8, q. v.]
