ضممa single origin denoting congruity/fitting-together between two things. (root dmm)

Al-ḍamm (الضم): your joining a thing to a thing. Ḍāmamtu fulānan (ضاممت فلانا) means I stood together with him in one matter [joined myself to him]. Al-ḍimām (الضمام): anything by which one thing is joined to another. Al-iḍmāmah (الإضمامة): a group of people who are not of one origin but a mixed assembly, and its plural is aḍāmīm (أضاميم). He said [in verse]: "and the humped-backed [beasts] loosen from among them the aḍāmīm." Al-ḍamāḍim (الضماضم): the lion — and al-ḍimām (الضمام) also [means this]. And ḍamḍamatuhu (ضمضمته): its roar.

Al-ṣanam (الصنم): singular of al-aṣnām (الأصنام). It is said that it is an arabized form of shaman (شمن), and it means al-wathan (الوثن) [the idol].

The letters ḍād and mīm form one root indicating a fitting/joining between two things. One says ḍamamtu (ضممت) a thing to a thing — 'I joined it' — aḍummu, ḍamman. And hādhihi iḍmāmatun (هذه إضمامة) min khayl means a group [of horses]; and a horse described as sabbāqu l-aḍāmīm (سباق الأضاميم) means one that outstrips the groups [of horses]. And iḍmāmatun (إضمامة) of books is like iḍbāratun (إضبارة) [a bundle/file]. And from this root: asadun ḍamḍamun wa-ḍamāḍimun (أسد ضمضم وضماضم) — a lion that gathers/embraces everything to itself.

Al-ḍamm (الضم): the bringing together of two or more things. He (exalted) said: "wa-ḍmum yadaka ilā janāḥika" (واضمم يدك إلى جناحك) [Ṭā-Hā 22], and "wa-ḍmum ilayka janāḥaka" (واضمم إليك جناحك) [al-Qaṣaṣ 32]. Al-iḍmāmah (الإضمامة): a group of people, or of books, or of sweet basil, or the like. Asadun ḍamḍamun wa-ḍamāḍimun (أسد ضمضم وضماضم): a lion that gathers things to itself; and it is said rather that it means one compact/dense in build. A horse described as sabbāqu l-aḍāmīm (سباق الأضاميم): one that outstrips a group of horses running together at once.

Al-ḍamm (الضم): your joining a thing to a thing; and it is said [rather]: drawing a thing to a thing. Ḍammahu ilayhi yaḍummuhu ḍamman (ضمه إليه يضمه ضما), so it becomes joined (fa-inḍamma) and tadāmma (تضام). You say: ḍamamtu hādhā ilā hādhā (ضممت هذا إلى هذا) — so I am ḍāmm (ضام) and it is maḍmūm (مضموم). Al-Jawharī: ḍamamtu a thing to a thing, so it joined to it (fa-inḍamma ilayhi), and ḍāmahu (ضامه) [means the same]. In the hadith of ʿUmar: 'O Hunayy, ḍumma janāḥaka ʿan al-nās (ضم جناحك عن الناس)' — i.e., soften your side toward them and be gentle with them. In the hadith of Zubayb al-ʿAnbarī: '... a man of your soldiers ḍamma minnī mā ḥarrama Allāhu wa-rasūluhu (ضم مني ما حرم الله ورسوله)' — i.e., he took from my property and joined it to his own. Ḍāma al-shayʾ al-shayʾ (ضام الشيء الشيء): it joined with it. Tadāma al-qawm (تضام القوم): when some of a people join with others. In the hadith of the Vision [of God]: 'lā tuḍāmmūna fī ruʾyatihi' (لا تضامون في رؤيته), referring to the vision of God, exalted — meaning some of you join with others, one saying to another 'show Him to me,' as is done when looking at the new moon. It is also transmitted 'lā tuḍāmmūna' (لا تضامون) in the passive form. Ibn Sīdah said: I have not seen ḍāma used transitively except here, and it is also transmitted as 'tuḍāmūna' (تضامون) from al-ḍaym (الضيم) [wrong/injustice], discussed in its own place. Ibn al-Athīr said: this hadith is transmitted both doubled (tashdīd) and undoubled (takhfīf). With doubling, its meaning is: you will not press against one another or crowd at the moment of looking at Him — he said it may also be voweled tafāʿalūna or tufāʿalūna. With the undoubled reading, the meaning is: no ḍaym (wrong) will befall you in seeing Him, such that some of you would see Him while others do not. Al-ḍaym (الضيم): injustice/wrong. As for the verse of Abū Dhuʾayb: 'Fa-alfā l-qawma qad sharibū, fa-ḍammū, / amāma l-qawmi manṭiquhum nasīfu' ("And he found the people had drunk, then they gathered together, / ahead of the people, their speech grew hushed") he means that they gathered and drew to themselves their mounts and baggage; he omitted the object, and such omission is common. Iḍṭamamtu al-shayʾ (اضطممت الشيء): I drew the thing to myself; iḍṭamma fulānun shayʾan ilā nafsihi (اضطم فلان شيئا إلى نفسه) [likewise]. Al-Azharī said, at the end of [the chapter] ḍād-ṭāʾ-mīm: as for al-iḍṭimām (الاضطمام), it is an iftiʿāl form from al-ḍamm (الضم). In the hadith: 'The Prophet of God, peace and blessings upon him, when the people crowded upon him (idhā ḍṭamma ʿalayhi l-nās) would quicken his pace (aʿnaqa)' — i.e., they pressed together; it is the iftaʿala form of al-ḍamm, with the tāʾ changed to ṭāʾ on account of the preceding ḍād. In the hadith of Abū Hurayrah: 'The people drew near and pressed together (wa-ḍṭamma baʿḍuhum ilā baʿḍ).' Iḍṭammat ʿalayhi al-ḍulūʿ (اضطمت عليه الضلوع): the ribs enclosed it. Al-ḍimām (الضمام): anything by which a thing is joined to another; and [a body] became munḍamm (منضم), i.e., lean/gaunt, as though part of it had drawn in upon another part. Ḍāmamtu al-rajul (ضاممت الرجل): I stayed together with the man in a single matter, joined to him. Al-iḍmāmah (الإضمامة): a group of people not of one origin but a mixed assembly; its plural is al-aḍāmīm (الأضاميم); and he cited: "a company of aḍāmīm and saddle-loads of livestock." And a horse is described as sabbāqu l-aḍāmīm (سباق الأضاميم), i.e., of the groups. Ibn Barrī said: from this comes the saying of Dhū al-Rummah: "and the humped-backed [she-camels] loosen from among them the aḍāmīm." In his letter to Wāʾil ibn Ḥujr: 'and whoever among the previously married commits fornication, pelt him with al-aḍāmīm (بالأضاميم)' — meaning stoning [i.e., by a gathered group].
