A2: غُطْ غُطْ means Be thou with the جَمَاعَة [i. e. the mass, or main body], (

TA:) from غَوْطٌ meaning ثَرِيد. (
TA.)
A2: And تَغْوِيطٌ signifies also The making a well deep. (

Fr,
O,
TA. [See also 2.]) 5 تغوّط (

O,
TA.) غَوْطٌ A hollow, cavity, pit, or the like, dug, or excavated, in the ground;
syn. حُفْرَةٌ. (So in the
K,
accord. to the
TA, on the authority of
AA: but in some copies of the
K, الغَوْطُ in this instance is
expl. by الحَفْرُ: see 1, last sentence.) See also غَائِطُ.
A2: And
i. q. ثَرِيدٌ [Crumbled bread moistened with broth]. (O: in the

O,
Msb,
K,) but not much depressed, and in some instances having acclivities [bordering it]; (
ISh;) sometimes, as they assert, a league (فَرْسَخ) in extent, and having in it meadows; (
AHn;) and ↓ غَاطٌ and ↓ غَوْطٌ signify the same; (
O,
K;) or the last is more depressed than the غائط: (
IDrd, O:) and غائط is also applied to a valley: (
TA:) the
pl. [of pauc.] is أَغْوَاطٌ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) or this is
pl. of غَوْطٌ, (
IB,) and [of mult.] غِيطَانٌ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) which is
pl. of both these sings., (
IB,) and غُوطٌ (
S,
Msb,
K) and غِيَاطٌ. (
K.)
b2: Hence, (
tropical:) A place in which one satisfies a want of nature; the custom being to do so in a depressed place, where one is concealed. (
S, *
Msb, *
TA.) In the
Kur [iv. 46, or
v. 9],
accord. to an extraordinary reading, it is written ↓ غَيْط, [a form now commonly used, and signifying a garden, but there meaning a privy place,] the original form of which may be غَيْوِط, and then غَيِّط, [and then غَيْط,] it being contracted; or,
accord. to Abu-l- Hasan, the ى may be originally و, these two letters being in this instance interchangeable. (
IJ.) You say, أَتَى الغَائِطَ, (
S,
TA,) and ضَرَبَ الغَائِطَ, (
TA,) (
tropical:) He satisfied a want of nature; (
S,
TA;) voided excrement, or ordure. (
TA.)
b3: And hence, (
S,
TA,) (
tropical:) Human excrement, or ordure: (
S,
K,
TA:) because they used to cast it away in a غائط: or because they used to go thither to satisfy a want of nature. (
TA.)
