Noun

تأويل • (ta'vil) (plural تأویلات (ta'vilât))

paraphrase, commentary, explanation, interpretation
- c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume I, verse 3742:
  ز آن که تاویل است وا داد عطا
  چون که بیند آن حقیقت را خطا
  za ān ki ta'wīl ast wā-dād 'atā
  čōn ki bi-bīnad ān haqiqat rā xatā
  Because interpretation (alteration of the meaning) is a rejection of the gift,
  since he (the interpreter) regards that real meaning as faulty.
