Its root in the classical dictionaries
الزينة الحقيقية: ما لا يشين الإنسان في شيء من أحواله لا في الدنيا، ولا في الآخرة، فأما ما يزينه في حالة دون حالة فهو من وجه شين، والزينة بالقول المجمل ثلاث: زينة نفسية كالعلم، والاعتقادات الحسنة، وزينة بدنية، كالقوة وطول القامة، وزينة خارجية كالمال والجاه. فقوله:
قوله تعالى: ﴿خذوا زينتكم﴾ [الأعراف: 31] الزينة هنا ما يواري العورة، وذلك أن الحمس، وهم قريش، كانوا يطوفون عراة ويقولون: لا نطوف في ثياب عضينا الله فيها. فأمروا بستر العورة. وقيل: هي أخذ ما يتزين به من ثياب وغيرها. وقال مجاهد: ما وارى عوراتك ولو عباءة.
And We have destined
For them intimate companions
(Of like nature), who made
Alluring to them what was
Before them and behind them;
And the sentence among
The previous generations of Jinns
And men; who have passed away,
Is proved against them;
For they are utterly lost.
Is then one who is
On a clear (Path)
From his Lord,
No better than one
To whom the evil
Of his conduct seems pleasing,
And such as follow
Their own lusts?
"Nay, ye thought that
The Apostle and the Believers
Would never return to
Their families; this seemed
Pleasing in your hearts, and
Ye conceived an evil thought,
For ye are a people
Lost (in wickedness)."
And know that among you
Is God's Apostle: were he,
In many matters, to follow
Your (wishes), ye would
Certainly fall into misfortune:
But God has endeared
The Faith to you, and
Has made it beautiful
In your hearts, and He
Has made hateful to you
Unbelief, wickedness, and
Rebellion: such indeed are
Those who walk in righteousness;—
And We have,
(From of old),
Adorned the lowest heaven
With Lamps, and We
Have made such (Lamps)
(As) missiles to drive
Away the Evil Ones,
And have prepared for them
The Penalty
Of the Blazing Fire.
