1 arbitrariness, arbitrary powers or action; 2 despotism; domination, dominion, rule, sway, power; 3 control (fī of, over) – WehrCowan1976.

▪ vn. V, formed from BP#3360taḥakkama, vb. V, ʻto have one’s own way, proceed at random, handle, pass arbitrary judgment on); to rule, reign, hold sway over, dominate, control’, a Dt-stem with the typical, self-referential meaning, lit. *ʻto make o.s. the arbiter (ḥakam), judge or ruler (ḥākim, see ↗ḥakama)’. Vb. VIII, ĭḥtakama (Gt-stem), shows a very similar meaning (see ↗ḥakama, section DERIV). Both taḥakkama and taḥakkum are mostly used in the negative sense of abusing one’s power.
