[accord. to general usage], (S,) [that is to say,] it is a compound of two words whereof the latter is inseparable from the former, so that one may not say تَأَمَّلْ قُزَحَ فَمَا أَبْيَنَ قَوْسَهُ [Consider thou Kuzah, for how plain is his bow!], (TA,) and the latter word is said to be the name of a certain devil, as such, imperfectly decl., (TA, Msb,) assigned to the same class as زُحَل, which, as Mbr says, is imperfectly decl. as being a proper name and deviating from its original form: (TA:) it is said in a trad., Say not ye قَوْسُ قُزَحَ, for قُزَحُ is the name of a devil, but say قَوْسُ اللّٰهِ: (Msb, TA:) or قُزَحُ is the name of a certain angel who is charged with the management of the clouds: or the name of a certain king of the 'Ajam [i. e.

[i. e. one says قَوْسُ قُزَحٍ]: (Msb:) or it is from قَزَحَ signifying it was, or became, high, or elevated: (K, TA:) Dmr strangely asserts that قوس قزح is a mistake, and that it is correctly قَوْسُ قَزَعٍ, from قَزَعٌ signifying “ clouds. ” (MF, TA.) قُزْحَةٌ A streak of yellow and of red and of green: (Msb, K:) pl. قُزَحٌ.
