al-murakkab
المُرَكَّب
A (murakkab, also muʾallaf) is one whose part signifies a part of its meaning.
Explanation
In “Zayd's servant”, each word signifies part of what the whole phrase means.
Also written as: murakkab, mu'allaf, muʾallaf, compound expression.
In the text
ثُمَّ اللَّفْظُ إِمَّا مُفْرَدٌ: وَهُوَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَادُ بِالْجُزْءِ مِنْهُ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى جُزْءِ مَعْنَاهُ كَالإِنْسَانِ، وَإِمَّا مُؤَلَّفٌ: وَهُوَ الَّذِي لَا يَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ كَرَامِي الْحِجَارَةِ.Next, an utterance is either simple, one whose part is not meant to signify a part of its meaning, like “human”; or composite, one that is not so, like “thrower of stones”.Examples
- غُلَامُ زَيْدٍ“Zayd's servant”
