, originally a verbal noun, (S,) signifies (assumed tropical:) A nature; or a natural, a native, or an innate, disposition or temper or the like; or an idiosyncrasy; synonym سَجِيَّةٌ (S, O, K, TA) or جِبِلَّةٌ (Msb) and خَلِيقَةٌ; (TA;) to which a man is adapted by creation; (S, O, Msb, K, TA;) [as though it were stamped, or impressed, upon him;] as also
طَبِيعَةٌ; (S, O, K, TA;) or this signifies his مِزَاج [i. e. constitution, or temperament, or aggregate natural constituents], composed of the [four] humours; (Msb; [see مِزَاجٌ;]) and
طِبَاعٌ; (S, O, K, TA;) or this last signifies, (K,) or signifies also, (O,) with the article ال prefixed to it, what is, or are, constituted in us in consequence of food and drink &c. (مَا رُكِّبَ فِينَا
مِنَ المَطْعَمِ وَالمَشْرَبِ وَغْيَرِ ذٰلِكَ [in which مطعم and مشرب are evidently used as inf. ns. agreeably with general analogy]), (O, K, TA,) by غير ذلك being meant such as straitness and ampleness [of circumstances], and niggardliness and liberality, (TA,) of the natural dispositions that are inseparable from us; (O, K, TA;) and this word is feminine, (O, TA,) like طَبِيعَةٌ, as is said in the M; or it is singular and masculine according to Abu-l-Kásim Ez-Zejjájee; and it is also plural of طَبْعٌ, as it is said to be by Az; (TA;) [and those who have asserted it to be feminine may have held it to be a plural;] and
طَابِعٌ is synonym with طِبَاعٌ [as a singular]; (K, TA;) or, as Lh says, it is synonym with
طَبِيعَةٌ; of which the plural is طَبَايءِعُ. (TA.)
