النخل معروف، وقد يستعمل في الواحد والجمع. قال تعالى: كأنهم أعجاز نخل منقعر

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿والنخل﴾ [ق: 10] النخل معروف. وهو اسم جنس يفرق بين واحده وجمعه بالتاء. ويذكر ويؤنث. فمن التذكير قوله ﴿أعجاز نخل منقعر﴾ [القمر: 20] ومن التأنيث ﴿أعجاز نخل خاوية﴾ [الحاقة: 7] ويجمع على نخيل أيضا. ولكرمها عندهم اشتقوا من لفظها ما يدل على اصطفاء الشيء. يقال: نخلت الشيء وانتخلته. ومنه: نخل الدقيق.
