اختزلهُ

He cut it off for himself. (S, * Msb, K. *) One says, اختزل المَالَ He cut off for himself the property. (TA.) And اختزلهُ عَنِ القَوْمِ He cut him off from the people, or party. (S.)

And hence, اِخْتَزَلْتُ الوَدِيعَةَ (assumed tropical:) I was unfaithful in respect of the trust, or deposit; even if meaning I refused to restore it: because the doing so is a cutting off, for one's self, of the property of the owner. (Msb.)

Accord. to Sb and the K, الاِخْتِزَالُ is also synonym with الحَذْفُ [The cutting off a thing; or cutting it so as to lessen it at its extremity; &c.]: but ISd says, I know not this on the authority of any other than Sb. (TA.)

الختزال also signifies The being alone (K, TA) in opinion; with none to share therein. (TA.)

And اختزل, He (a man) became lame; or walked lamely. (TA.)
