إن اشتهر في الثاني وترك موضوعه الأول، سمي منقولا
A term initially assigned to one meaning may, through a relevant association, come into established use for a second meaning, with the first use abandoned in the relevant convention. This is manqūl, or transferred usage.

Unlike independent primary assignments in homonymy, transfer has a historical or conventional transition from an earlier sense. A casual metaphor is insufficient; the second meaning must become established in the specified usage.

The source divides transfer by its agents or community into customary, religious-legal and technical types.
