(TA.) It is said in a prov., مَنْ عَزَّ بَزَّ He who overcomes takes the spoil. (S, A.) And you say, بَزَّهُ ثَوْبَهُ, and ↓ ابتزّهُ, He took away from him, or seized or carried away from him by force, his garment. (A.) It is said in a trad., ثِيَابِى ↓ فَيَبْتَزُّ وَمَتَاعِى And he strips me, or despoils me, of my clothes and my goods; takes them from me by superior force. (TA.)

(Mgh, * TA.) ― -b2- Also بَزَّثَوْبَهُ, aor. as above, He pulled his garment towards him, or to him: so in a verse of Khálid Ibn-Zuheyr El-Hudhalee [cited in art. ريب, but with this difference, that يَجُرُّ is there put in the place of يَبُزُّ]. (S, TA.) ― -b3- [بَزَّهُ is also explained in the TA by حَبَسَهُ; but without any ex.; and I think it probable that حَبَسَهُ is a mistake for جَذَبَهُ].
  • إِبْتَزَ3َ Form VIII She stripped herself of her clothes
    see 1, in six places. -A2- ابتزّت مِنْ ثِيَابِهَا She stripped herself of her clothes. (A.)

(A.) [Golius explains it as “Chald. בוּץ, Byssus, seu potius pannus lineus, bombacinus, etiam sericus:” as on the authority of the S and K (though he omits the explanations in both those lexicons) and Meyd and Ibn-Maaroof (who explains it only by the Persian word جَامَهْ, meaning cotton or linen cloth, or a garment,) and the Mirkát el-Loghah. He seems to have judged from its resemblance in sound to the Chaldee and Latin words with which he identifies it. The things which it signifies, however, may perhaps be so called because they are usual spoils: and hence also, perhaps, the application here next following.] -A3- Weapons, or arms; or a weapon; syn. سِلَاحٌ; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ بِزَّةٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) and ↓ بَزَزٌ, (K,) and ↓ بِزِّيزَى: (TA:) the first of these four words including in its application coats of mail and the مِغْفَر and the sword: (TA:) or it signifies a sword: (IDrd, A, TA:) and ↓ بَزَزٌ, accord. to AA, complete arms.

(A.)
  • بِزَّةٌ Constraint, or force
    Constraint, or force: as in the saying, لَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ أَبَدًا بِزَّةً مِنِّى He will never take it by constraint, or force, from me.
