I. חצר (√ of following; compare Arabic 
encompass, surround; Ethiopic 
surround, enclose by wall, etc.; 
enclosure; Late Hebrew חָצֵר court, Phoenician חצר id., Syriac 
, id.)
חָצַץ to divide, and intrans. to be divided. Arabic حَصَّ Conj. III. to divide one’s share with another, حِصَّةُ a part, a portion. Talmud. to cut up, to cut in pieces (whence חֲצִיצָה an axe or adze), hence figuratively, to distinguish. Kindred roots are חָצָה, חָצַב, Chald. חֲצַף. The primary syllable חץ has the power of cutting, dividing, or sharpening, in common with the cognates חז (see חָזַז ), חד (see חָדַד, חָדַשׁ ), also קץ, כס, גז, גד (see the roots גָּדַד, גָּזַז, קָצַץ ). Proverbs 30:27, “the locusts have no king, וַיֵּצֵא חֹצֵץ כֻּלּוֹ and yet they all go forth divided,” i.e. in a divided host (comp. Genesis 14:15). Jerome, per turmas suas.
Piel, part. מְחַצְצִים Judges 5:11, those who divide (booty), (compare Isai. 9:2 33:23 Psal. 68:13 ). Others, following the Targum and the Jewish writers, translate it archers, taking it as a denom. from חֵץ. [So Gesenius himself in Thes. “Compare Targ., Judges 5:8.”]
Pual, to be cut off, i.e. finished, ended (spoken of the months of one’s life), Job 21:21.
Hence חֵץ and the following words.
