AA says that it originally signifies “ a lord,” or “ chief,” in
Pers\.; but seems to be from دَحَاهُ,
aor. ـْ meaning “ he spread it, and made it plain or even; ” because it is for the headman or chief to do this; the و being changed into ى as it is in صِبْيَةٌ and فِتْيَةٌ; and if so, it belongs to art. دحو. (
TA.) [
Accord. to Golius, the
pl. is دِحَآءٌ; but I think that it is more probably دِـ
ـحًى.] It is said in a
trad. that what is called البَيْتُ المَعْمُورُ [
q. v. in art. عمر] is entered every day by seventy thousand companies of angels, every one of these companies having with it a دِحْيَة and consisting of seventy thousand angels. (
