3 مُدَاهَنَهٌ and ↓ إِـ

syn. مُوَارَبَةٌ: (
TA:) or دَاهَنْتُ signifies I hid, concealed, or covered;
syn. وَارَيْتُ [
accord. to four copies of the

TA]; and ↓ أَدْهَنْتُ signifies I acted with dishonesty, or dissimulation: (
S:) or ↓ إِـ
ـدْهَانٌ is [originally] like تَدْهِينٌ [as has been stated above]: but is used as denoting the act of treating with gentleness or blandishment, soothing, coaxing, wheedling, beguiling, or deluding; and abstaining from restraint or prohibition: (
AHeyth,
TA:) or it originally signified the anointing such a thing as a hide with some oil or the like: and as such a thing is rendered soft to the sense [of feeling], it was used tropically, or metaphorically, to denote ideal softness, absolutely: hence, the treating with gentleness or blandishment, soothing, coaxing, wheedling, beguiling, or deluding, was termed مُدَاهَنَةٌ: then this
tropical signification became commonly known, and conventionally regarded as proper: and then the word [مداهنة or ↓ ا
دهان, or rather each of these words,] was tropically used as signifying the holding a thing in light, or little, or mean, estimation, or in contempt: so in the 'Ináyeh. (
MF,
TA.) It is said in the
Kur [lxviii. 9], ↓ وَدُّوالَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ (
tropical:) They wish that thou wouldst endeavour to conciliate [them], and in that case they will endeavour to conciliate [thee]: (

TA:) or that thou wouldst be soft, pliant, or gentle, to them, and in that case they will be so to thee: (

TA.) One says, لَا تُدْهِنْ عَلَيْهِ, meaning لَا تُبْقِ عَلَيْهِ [Show not thou mercy to him; or pity not him; or pardon not him]. (
