نشط

Core meaning

To release with a brisk but measured gesture, halfway between wrenching and free gliding.

Uses

1. ٱلنَّٰشِطَٰت, نَشْطًا → "those who release gently" : agents who release without forcing, second in a series of oaths.

   • «وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا» — "those who release gently" (79:2)

Evidence from the text

The sole occurrence stands in a series of oaths (79:1-5): "those who tear away, submerging, those who release gently, those who swim, swimming". Between the wrenching of the first term and the fluid movement of the third, نشط says a brisk release that does not force.

Distinctions

• نزع — to tear away with force (79:1); نشط releases without violence
