اغتالهُ
1.
He did evil to him without his knowing whence it came so that he might prepare himself. (TA.) It is said in a tradition, أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ
أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِى i. e. [I seek protection by Thee from] my being the object of an event's befalling me whence I shall not know; meaning thereby the sinking [into the ground] and being swallowed up. (TA.) الاِغْتِيَالُ and الغِيلَةُ are synonym in a sense explained below. (S, O, K.) See the latter word below: and see also 8 in article غول. One says, اُغْتِيلَ, meaning He was deceived, and taken to a place, and [there] slain. (TA.)
