شَيْطَان

شَيْطَان [i. e. شَيْطَانٌ or شَيْطَانُ, accord. to different authorities, as shown below, A devil; and with the article ال, the devil, Satan;] is, accord. to some, from شَاطَ, (Mṣb, Ḳ, TA,) as signifying “it was, or became, null, void, of no account;” and the like: (Mṣb, TA:) or “he perished:” (Ḳ, TA:) or “he went away:” or “it burned,” or “became burnt:” two reasons given for this derivation are, that among the names of the devil are المُذْهَبُ and البَاطِلُ: and another is this; that several read, in the Ḳur xxvi. 210, الشَّيَاطُونَ [instead of الشَّيَاطِينُ]: but some say that it is from شَطَنَ, signifying “he became distant,” or “remote:” Sb gives both of these derivations: respecting the former of which, it should be observed that if from شاط as signifying “it burned,” or “became burnt,” it is proper; but if from the same in any of the other senses mentioned above, it is tropical: and if belonging to this art., it is imperfectly decl., being of the measure فَعْلَان: (Ṣ in art. شطن, in which see it:) [but in the Ḳur-án it is always perfectly decl.: and SM says that] it is perfectly decl., unless used as a proper name; in the latter case being imperfectly decl. (TA.)

تَشْيِيطٌ

تَشْيِيطٌ Flesh-meat roasted, (Ḳ,) or made good, and roasted, (TA,) for a company of men: (Ḳ:) a subst., like تَمْتِينٌ. (Ḳ, TA.) [In the CK, for اِسْمٌ كَالتَّمْتِينِ, we find واسمٌ كالتَّمْتِينِ.]


مِشْيَاطٌ

مِشْيَاطٌ ‡ A she-camel that quickly becomes fat: (Aṣ, Ṣ, A, Ḳ:) applied also to a he-camel: (TA:) pl. مَشَايِيطُ; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) in some of the copies of the Ṣ, مَشَايِطُ: and you say also إِبِلٌ شياط↓ [app. a mistake for مِشْيَاطٌ, which is fem., like إِبِلٌ, as well as masc.]: AA says that مشايط, [or مَشَايِيطُ,] applied to camels, signifies assigned for slaughter; from شَاطَ said of a person's blood.
