Its root in the classical dictionaries
العفو: القصد لتناول الشيء، يقال: عفاه واعتفاه، أي: قصده متناولا ما عنده، وعفت الريح الدار: قصدتها متناولة آثارها، وبهذا النظر قال الشاعر:323-أخذ البلى أبلادها
العين والفاء والحرف المعتل أصلان يدل أحدهما على ترك الشيء، والآخر على طلبه. ثم يرجع إليه فروع كثيرة لا تتفاوت في المعنى.
