From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root مزق. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

مَزَّقَ (assumed tropical:) He scattered, or dispersed. (Kur, xxxiv, 18; and Expos. of the Jeláleyn.) ― -b2- [ مَرَّقَ , used tropically, may sometimes be rendered (assumed tropical:) He mangled, rent much, or dissundered; but more generally, (assumed tropical:) he, or it, shattered, disorganized, or dissipated; or (assumed tropical:) he, or it, marred, or impaired; being opposed to أَصْلَحَ , or to رَقَعَ or رَقَّعَ , in the sense of أَصْلَحَ , as in an ex. cited voce رَقَعَ ; sometimes several of these renderings will be found to be appropriate in a single instance. You say, مَزَّقَ عِرْضَهُ (assumed tropical:) He mangled, rent, or shattered, or marred, his honour, or reputation. And مَزَّقَ عَقْلَهُ , and رَأْيَهُ , and أَمْرَهُ , (assumed tropical:) It shattered, or disorganized or dissipated, or it marred or impaired, his intellect, and his judgment, and his state of affairs or circumstances.] ― -b3- مَزَِّقَهُ He rent it, or tore it, much; or in several, or many, places. mangled, or dissundered, it; and cut it much; &c. (TA.)
