զգածիմ (zgacim)

  1. (intransitive) to clothe or to dress oneself
  2. (intransitive, figuratively) to be affected with some feeling; to fly into a passion

Usage notes

edit

Often confused with զգամ (zgam, to feel) by later scribes, which gave rise to such misspellings as անզգած (anzgac, unfeeling) (read անզգաց (anzgacʻ)) and իրազգած (irazgac) (read իրազգաց (irazgacʻ)).
