Verse meaning
This is the verse translation, not a definition of the individual word.
Mankind was just one nation. Then Allah sent prophets with glad tidings and warnings[1], and sent down to them the Scriptures in truth, to judge between people in matters over which they disputed. But none disputed thereafter except out of arrogance after they had received the clear proofs[2]. Then Allah, by His grace, guided those who believed to the truth in which they disputed. For Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.

[1] Ibn ‘Abbās (رضي الله عنهما) reported: “The time between Adam and Noah was ten centuries. People were on the right path, but then they started disputing over matters of faith. So Allah sent prophets bearing glad tidings and warnings.” [Al-Mustadrak of Al-Hākim]. [2] The plight of humans, especially those who lack sincerity and humility, is such that the more knowledge they possess, the more haughty and disputatious they become.
