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

شَغَلَهُ , (S, O, Msb, K,) aor. شَغَلَ , (O, K, MS,) inf. n. شَغْلٌ (Msb, K) and شُغْلٌ , (K,) the latter on the authority of Sb, (TA,) He, or it, (a man, S, or an affair, Msb,) busied him, occupied him, or employed him; (K;) i. q. أَلْهَاهُ [signifying as above; and particularly he, or it, busied him, &c., so as to divert him from ( عَنْ ) something; or diverted him from a thing by busying him, &c.]: (S and Msb and K in art. لهو , and Bd and Jel in xv. 3, &c.:) [↓ شغّلهُ signifies he, or it, busied him, &c., much; i. e.] with teshdeed it denotes muchness: (Bd in xlviii. 11:) ↓ اشغلهُ is a good dial. var. of شَغَلَهُ ; or is rare; or bad: (K:) accord. to IDrd [and J], (O,) one should not say أَشْغَلْتُهُ ; (S, O;) for it is bad: (S:) accord. to IF, they scarcely ever say أَشْغَلْتُ , [thus in the O, but in the Msb ↓ اِشْتَغَلَ ,] but it is allowable: (O:) none of the leading lexicologists is known to have pronounced it good. (TA.) [Hence the saying, شَغَلَتْ سَعَاتِى جَدْوَاىَ (see art. سعو and سعى ), or, as some relate it, شغلت شِعَابِى جدواى (see art. شعب ).] See another ex. voce شَاغِلٌ . One says also شُغِلَ بِهِ , (Msb, K,) meaning تَلَهَّى [i. e. He was, or became, busied, &c., by it], (Msb,) and به ↓ اشتغل [meaning the same]; (Az, Msb, K;) and شُغِلْتُ عَنْكَ بِكَذَا [I was, or became, busied, &c., so as to be diverted from thee, by such a thing], (S, O,) and ↓ اِشْتَغَلْتُ [in the same sense]: (S:) and عَنْهُ ↓ تشاغل , (TA,) which likewise signifies تَلَهَّى [meaning as expl. above, or he busied himself, &c., so as to divert himself from him, or it]: (TA in art. لهو , and Bd and Jel in lxxx. 10:) some disallow ↓ اِشْتَغَلَ , in the form of an active verb, but say اُشْتُغِلَ , in the form of a pass. verb; but it is originally quasi-pass of أَشْغَلْتُهُ , like as are اِحْتَرَقَ and اِكْتَهَلَ of أَحْرَقْتُهُ and أَكْهَلْتُهُ ; [though why of أَشْغَلْتُهُ rather than of شَغَلْتُهُ , I do not see:] Az mentions the usage of its act. and pass. part. ns.: (Msb:) accord. to AHát and IDrd, one should not say ↓ اِشْتَغَلَ ; but IF mentions, as transmitted from the Arabs, اُشْتُغِلَ فُلَانٌ بِالشَّىْءِ , and the pass. part. n. (O.) ― -b2- One says also, نَحْنُ نَشْغَلُ عَنْكَ المَرْتَعَ (assumed tropical:) [We occupy the place of pasturage so as to keep it from thee], and المَا=ءَ [the water]; meaning, it is sufficient for us without being more than sufficient. (S in art. شفه .) And شُغِلَ عَنْكَ مَا عِنْدَنَا (assumed tropical:) [What we had was employed so as to be kept from thee]. (JK in that art.)

شَغَّلَ see the preceding paragraph.

اشغلهُ : see 1. ― -b2- مَا أَشْغَلَهُ [meaning How much is he busied! &c.], (Th, S, K,) denoting wonder, (Th, TA,) is anomalous, because one does not [regularly] form a verb of wonder from one in the form of a pass. verb. (Th, S, K.)

تشاغل عَنْهُ : see 1. [Accord. to Golius, تشاغلوا signifies They occupied one another, on the authority of the KL; in which, however, I find only تَشَاغُلٌ expl. as meaning خودرا بJيزى مشغول كردن i. e. To make oneself busied, &c., with a thing.]

اـِشْتَغَلَ see 1, in five places. ― -b2- One says also, اِشْتَغَلَ فِيهِ السَّمُّ The poison crept into him, or pervaded him; syn. سَرَى : and اشتغل فِيهِ الدَّوَا=ءُ The medicine entered into him, and produced an effect upon him, or showed its effect upon him; syn. نَجَعَ . (TA.)

شَغْلٌ an inf. n. of 1. (K, Msb.) See the next paragraph. -A2- And see also شَغْلَةٌ .

شُغْلٌ and ↓ شَغْلٌ and ↓ شُغُلٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ شَغَلٌ (S, O, K;) Business, occupation, or employment; (PS;) contr. of فَرَاغٌ : (K:) [and particularly business, &c., that diverts one from a thing:] or an occurrence that causes a man to forget, or neglect, or be unmindful: (Er-Rághib, TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَشْغَالٌ (S, O, K) and [of mult.] شُغُولٌ : (K:) شُغْلٌ is mentioned by Sb as an instance of an inf. n. having a pl., namely, أَشْغَالٌ ; like عَقْلٌ and مَرَضٌ . (TA in art. مرض .) [See also أُشْغُولَةٌ .]

شَغَلٌ : see the next preceding paragraph.

شَغِلٌ Busy, or busied, occupied, or employed: (K:) [and particularly busy, &c, so as to be diverted from a thing:] thought by ISd to be a possessive epithet [meaning ذُو شُغْلٍ ], because it has no verb to which it is conformable: (TA:) it is an epithet applied to a man, from الشَّغْلُ [or الشُّغْلُ ]: (IAar, in O:) and ↓ مَشْغُولٌ signifies the same; (Msb, TA;) and ↓ مُشْتَغِلٌ (Az, Msb, K) and ↓ مُشْتَغَلٌ , (Az, IF, O, Msb, K,) the latter [said to be] extr. [meaning anomalous, for اُشْتُغِلَ is not mentioned by F]. (K.)

شُغُلٌ : see شُغْلٌ .

شَغْلَةٌ Reaped grain or wheat, collected together, in the place where it is trodden out; syn. بَيْدَرٌ and كُدْسٌ (IAar, O, K) and عَرَمَةٌ ; (IAar, O;) as also ↓ شَغَلَةٌ : (IAth, TA:) pl. [or coll. gen. n.] of the former ↓ شَغْلٌ , (O, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, شُغَلٌ ,]) like as تَمْرٌ is of تَمْرَةٌ . (O, TA.)

شَغَلَةٌ : see the next preceding paragraph.

شَغَّالٌ signifies كَثِيرُ الشُّغْلِ [i. e. Having much business or occupation or employment; or who busies or occupies or employs himself much]. (TA.)

شَاغِلٌ act. part. n. of شَغَلَهُ ; [Busying, occupying, or employing; &c.;] (S, Msb;) applied to a man, (S,) or to an affair. (Msb.) [Hence,] one says, عَنْكَ الشَّوَاغِلُ ↓ شَغَلَتْنِى [Busying affairs busied me, or have busied me, so as to divert me from thee]: the last word being pl. of شَاغِلٌ . (TA.) شُغْلٌ شَاغِلٌ [lit. Busying business, or the like,] has an intensive meaning: (K:) the latter word in this case is a corroborative, as in لَيْلٌ لَايءِلٌ . (S.)

أَشْغَلُ [More, and most, busy &c.]. أَشْغَلُ مِنْ ذَاتِ النِّحْيَيْنِ [More busy than she who was the owner of the two skins of butter] is a prov. [mentioned in the TA]: she was a woman of [the tribe of] Teym-Allah: she used to sell clarified butter, in the Time of Ignorance; and Khowwát Ibn-Jubeyr El-Ansáree came to her, demanding to buy clarified butter of her, and saw no one with her, and he bargained with her: so she untied a skin, and he looked at it: then he said to her, “ Hold thou it until I look at another: ” and she said, “ Untie thou another skin: ” and he did so, and looked at it, and said, “ I desire other than this; therefore hold thou it: ” and she did so: and when her hands were [thus] occupied, he assaulted her, and she was unable to repel the him. (Meyd.)

أُشْغُولَةٌ an instance of the measure أُفْعُولَةٌ from الشُّغْلُ [similar to أُلْهُوَّةٌ and أُلْهِيَّةٌ , and to أُلْعُوبَةٌ , &c.; app. meaning A thing with which one is busied, &c.: and also syn. with شُغْلٌ ]. (O, K.)

مَشْغَلَةٌ A thing that causes one to be busied, &c.: (K, * TA:) pl. مَشَاغِلُ . (TA.)

مَشْغُولٌ : see شَغِلٌ . ― -b2- [Hence,] فُلَانٌ فَارِغٌ مَشْغُولٌ Such a one is devoted to that which is unprofitable. (TA.) ― -b3- And جَارِيَةٌ مَشْغُولَةٌ A young woman having a husband.
