(K.) b7: MF says, on the authority of the etymologists, that the original signification of ↓ تَهْذِيبٌ and هَذْبٌ is The clearing, or trimming, of trees, by cutting off the extremities of the branches, in order that they may increase in growth and beauty; that they were then used to signify the cleansing, or purifying, of anything; and putting it into a right, or proper, state; trimming it; or adjusting it; and clearing it of any dirty or filthy things, or the like, mixed with it; so that these became their proper meanings by general acceptation: and that they were then used to signify the trimming and embellishing of verse, and clearing it of whatever might vitiate it in the opinion of the chaste in language, and the philologists: but the truth is what is said in the L; that the original signification of تهذيب is the clearing the colocynth of its pulp, and preparing its seeds so that they may lose their bitterness, and become sweet.
