تَرْصِيعٌ

[verbal noun of رصّع] The act of setting, fixing, or putting together, [jewels, precious stones, gems, pearls, &c.;] synonym تَرْكِيبٌ. (S, K.) [See the pass. particle n., below.]

The act of making [a thing] according to a measure; synonym تَقْدِيرٌ. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.)

The act of weaving [a thing]; or forming [it] by the inserting of one part within another; like as a bird weaves its nest. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) You say, رصّع الطَّايءِرُ عُشَّهُ بِقُضْبَانٍ وَرِيشٍ The bird put twigs and feathers near together, and wove with them its nest. (A, TA.)

رصّع العِقْدَ بِالجَوْهَرِ, verbal noun as above, He furnished the necklace with jewels, precious stones, or gems, connected, or drawn, together, in a series. (TA.)

[Hence,] in rhetoric, التَّرْصِيعُ signifies (assumed tropical:) A kind of جِنَاس; (TA;) the making the words of a clause of rhyming prose, or at least two of them, conformable in their measures, and agreeing in their latter parts, with the corresponding words of the corresponding clause; as in the saying in the Qur'an [end of ch. lxxxviii.], إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ: and the like in verse; as in the saying of Aboo-Firás [El-Farezdak],

وَأَمْوَالُهُ لِلطَّالِبِينَ نِهَابُ

وَأَفْعَالُهُ لِلَّاغِبِينَ كَرِيمَةٌ
