الأَرْضُ [The earth;] that whereon are mankind: (
TA:) [and earth, as opposed to heaven: and the ground, as meaning the surface of the earth, on which we tread and sit and lie; and the floor: without ال signifying a land, or country: and a piece of land or ground: and land, or soil, or ground, considered in relation to its quality:] it is
fem.: (
S,
A,
Msb,
K:) and is a
coll. gen. n.; (
S,
A,
K;) of which the
n. un. should be أَرْضَةٌ, but this they did not say: (
S:) or a
pl. having no
sing.; (
A,
K;) for أَرْضَةٌ has not been heard: (
K:) its
pl. is أَرَضَاتٌ, (
S,
K,) in [some of] the copies of the
K أَرْضَاتٌ, (
TA,) for they sometimes form the
pl. of a word which has not the
fem. ة with ا and ت, as in the instance of عُرُسَاتٌ; (
S;) and أَرَضُونَ, [which is more common,] (
Az,
AHn,
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) with fet-h to the ر, (
Az,
AHn,
Mgh,
Msb,) and with و and ن, though a
fem. has not its
pl. formed [regularly] with و and ن unless it is of the defective kind, like ثُبَةٌ and ظُبَةٌ, but they have made the و and ن [in this instance] a substitute for the ا and ت which they have elided [from أَرَضَاتٌ], and have left the fet-hah of the ر as it was; (
S;) but they also said أَرْضُونَ, (
Az,
AHn,
S,) sometimes, making the ر quiescent; (
S;) and أُرُوضٌ (
Az,
AHn,
Msb,
K) is sometimes used as a
pl., as in the saying مَا أَكْثَرَ أُرُوضَ بَنِى
فُلَانٍ [How many are the lands of the sons of such a one!]; (
TA;) and another [and very common]
pl. is [أَرَاضٍ, with the article written]
الأَرَاضِى,
contr. to rule, (
S,
Msb,
K,) as though they had formed a
pl. from آرُضٌ; (
S;) thus written in all the copies of the
S; [
accord. to
SM; but in one copy of the
S, I find كَأَنَّهُمْ جَمَعُوا ااراضًا; and in another, ارضًا;] and in one copy [is added], “ thus it is found in his [
J's] handwriting; ” but
IB says that correctly he should have said أَرْضَى, like أَرْطَى; for as to آرُضٌ, its regular
pl. would be أَوَارِضُ; and [
SM says] I have found it observed in a marginal note to the
S that the
pl. of آرُضٌ would be أَآرِضُ, like as أَكَالِبُ is
pl. of أَكْلُبٌ; and wherefore did he not say that الاراضى is a
pl. of an unused
sing., like لَيَالٍ and أَهَالٍ, so that it is as though it were
pl. of أَرْضَاةٌ, like as لَيَالٍ is
pl. of لَيْلَاةٌ? yet if any one should propose the plea that it may be formed by
transposition from أَآرِضُ, he would not say what is improbable; its measure being in this case أَعَالِفُ; the word being أَرَاضِئُ, and the ء being changed into ى: (
TA:)
accord. to Abu-l-Khattáb, (
S,) آرَاضٌ is also a
pl. of أَرْضٌ, (
S,
K,) like as آهَالٌ is a
pl. of أَهْلٌ; (
S;) but
IB says that, in the opinion of the critics, the truth with respect to what is related on the authority of Abu-l-Khattáb is, that from أَرْضٌ and أَهْلٌ are formed أَرَاضٍ and أَهَالٍ, as though they were pls. of أَرْضَاةٌ and أَهْلَاةٌ; like as they said لَيْلَةٌ and لَيَال, as though this were
pl. of لَيْلَاةٌ. (
TA.) It is said in proverbs, أَجْمَعُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [More comprehensive than the earth]: (
TA:) and آمَنُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [More trustworthy than the earth, in which treasures are securely buried]: and أَشَدُّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [Harder than the earth, or ground]: (
A,
TA:) and أَذَلُّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [More vile, or more submissive, than the earth, or ground]. (
TA.) And you say, مَنْ أَطَاعَنِى كُنْتُ لَهُ أَرْضَا (
tropical:) [Whoso obeyeth me, I will be to him as ground whereon one treads]; denoting submissiveness. (
A,
TA.) And فُلَانٌ إِنٌ ضُرِبَ فَأَرْضٌ (
tropical:) [Such one, if he be beaten, is like ground]; i. e. he cares not for beating. (
A,
TA.) One says also, لَا أَرْضَ لَكَ [Mayest thou have no land, or country! or thou hast no land, or country]; like as one says, لَا أُمَّ لَكَ. (
S,
K,)
b2: [And hence,] هُوَ ابْنُ أَرْضٍ He is a stranger, (
A,
K,
TA,) of whom neither father nor mother is known. (

AHn,
K,) which comes forth upon the summits of the [hills called] آكَام, having a stem (أَصْل), but not growing tall, (
AHn,) which resembles hair, and is eaten, (
AHn,
K,) and quickly dries up; (
AHn;) a species of بَقْل, as also بِنْتُ الأَرْضِ: (
S in art. بنى:) and بَنَاتُ الأَرْضِ plants: (
M in art. بسر:) and the places which are concealed from the pastor. (
S in that art.) Also The pool that is left by a torrent: (
T in art. بنى:) and بَنَاتُ الأَرْضِ pools in which are remains of water: (
IAar in
TA art. بسر:) and rivulets. (

tropical:) A carpet; or anything that is spread: and in this sense, in poetry, it is sometimes made
masc. (
Msb.)
b5: And (assumed
tropical:) Anything that is low. (
S,
K.) And (
tropical:) The lower, or lowest, part of the legs of a horse or the like: (

S,
K:) or vertigo: or it signifies also vertigo arising from a relaxed state, and occasioning a defluxion from the nose and eyes. (
TA.)
I'Ab is related to have said, on the occasion of an earthquake, أَزُلْزِلَتِ الأَرْضُ أَمْ بِى أَرْضٌ, (
S,) i. e. [Hath the earth been made to quake, or is there in me] a tremor? or a vertigo? (
TA.) [أَهْلُ الأَرْضِ signifies A certain class of the jinn, or genii; by whom human beings are believed to be possessed, and affected by an involuntary tremor; whence it seems that this appellation may perhaps be from أَرْضٌ as signifying “ a tremor. ”
See مَأْرُوضٌ: and see خَبَلٌ, as explained in the
S.]
b2: Also Rheum;
