aor. ـُ (
Msb,)

Msb,) It (a secret,
A, or a thing,
Msb) became apparent, or manifest. (
A,
Msb,
K.) Yousay, بَاحَ مَا كَتَبْتُ [What I concealed became apparent]. (
A.) And أَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مشنْ بَوْحِ السِّرِّ وَكَشْفِ السِّتْرِ [I seek protection by God from the appearing of the secret, and the removing of the veil, or covering]. (

A,
Msb,
K;) namely, a secret, (
S,
A,
K,) or a thing; (
Msb;) as also ↓ اباحهُ. (
A,
Msb,
K.) It (the former) is said to be from ↓ الإِبَاحَهُ [the
inf. n. of the latter] signifying The showing a thing to the beholder in order that he who will may take it. (
TA.) You say, سِرًّا فَبَاحَ بِهِ ↓ أَبَاحَهُ He revealed to him a secret, and he (the latter) [revealed it, i. e.,] did not conceal it. (
TA.) And بُحْ بِاسْمِكَ وَ لَا تَكْنِ عَنْهُ [Reveal thou thy name, and make not a mere allusion to it]. (
A.) 4 اباح,
inf. n. إِبَاحَةٌ: see 1, in three places.
b2: إِبَاحَةٌ and ↓ اِسْتِبَاحَةٌ are used as
syn.: but it is said that the former signifies The making a thing allowable, or free, to him who desires it, or seeks it: and the latter, the taking a thing as allowed, allowable, free, or lawful. (
MF.) You say, اباح الشَّىْءَ He made the thing allowable, or free. (
L.) And اباح مَالَهُ He gave permission either to take or let alone his property; made it allowable, or free, either way one might choose to take. (
Msb.) And أَبَحْتُكَ الشَّىْءَ I made, or have made, the thing allowable, free, or lawful, to thee, (
S,
L,
K,
TA,) to take it, [or let it alone,] or do it, [or make use of it,] or possess it; but not by the law of the religion, for to do this belongs to God and his apostle; except in the language of this law. (
MF,
TA.) [Hence it is said that] إِبَاحَةٌ bears a signification similar to that of نُهْبَى [i. e. Spoliation; a taking of spoil; or the taking a thing as spoil; a signification more properly belonging to the
inf. n. of 10,
q. v.]. (
