غرض

1 غَرِضَ, aor. ـَ (S, K,) inf. n. غَرَضٌ, (S, A, K,) He was vexed, or disquieted by grief, and by distress of mind; he was grieved, and distressed in mind: he was disgusted; he turned away with disgust. (S, A, K.) You say, غَرِضَ مِنْهُ He was vexed by, or at, him, or it, and disquieted by grief, and by distress of mind; he was grieved, and distressed in mind, by him, or it: (Mgh in art. غرض, and TA:) he was disgusted with it, or at it; he turned away from it with disgust: (Mgh:) and he feared him, or it. (Ibn-'Abbád, K, TK: but the first and second mention only the inf. n. of the verb in this last sense.) And غَرِضَ بِالمُقَامِ, aor. and inf. n. as above, [He was vexed, &c., by continuance, stay, residence, or abode, in a place: he was disgusted with it, or at it.] (S.) And إِذَا فَاتَهُ الغَرَضُ فَتَّهُ الغَرَضُ i. e. الضَّجَرُ [When the object of aim, or endeavour, escapes him, so that he cannot attain it, vexation, or disquietude by grief, and by distress of mind, or disgust, crushes him]. (A, TA.) b2: And hence, (A,) aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n., (A, TA,) He yearned, or longed: (S, A, K:) or he yearned, or longed, vehemently, or intensely: (TA:) إِلَيْهِ for him, or it: (S:) or إِلَى لِقَائِهِ for meeting with him: the verb in this sense being made trans. by means of الى because it imports the meaning of اِشْتَاقَ and حَنَّ [which are made trans. by the same means]: (A, TA:) [for] accord. to Akh, غَرِضْتُ إِلَيْهِ signifies غَرِضْتُ مِنْ هٰؤُلآءِ إِلَيْهِ [I turned with vexation, or disgust, from these, to him, or it]; because the Arabs connect the verb [with its objective complement] by means of all these particles [mentioned above; namely, ب and من and الى]. (S.) Mbr reckons غَرَضٌ, as meaning both “ being disgusted ” and “ yearning ” or “ longing,” among words having contrary significations; and so does Ibn-Es-Seed; (MF;) and in like manner, IKtt. (TA.) [Perhaps these derive the latter meaning from غَرَضٌ signifying “ a butt,” or “ an object of aim,” &c.]

A2: غَرَضَ عَنْهُ, (TA,) [in the TK غَرَضَهُ,] inf. n. غَرْضٌ, (Ibn-'Abbád, K,) He (a man, TA) refrained, forbore, abstained, or desisted, from him, or it; left, relinquished, or forsook, him, or it. (Ibn-'Abbád, * K, * TA.) A3: غَرُضَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. غِرَضٌ, It (a thing) was fresh, juicy, moist, not flaccid. (S, K.) A4: غَرَضَ الشَّىْءَ, aor. ـِ (K,) inf. n. غَرْضٌ; (TA;) and ↓ غرّضهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَغْرِيضٌ; (TA;) He plucked the thing while it was fresh, juicy, moist, or not flaccid: or he took it (أَخَذَهُ, in some copies of the K جَذَّهُ, which is a mistake, TA) while it was so. (K.) b2: (assumed tropical:) He did the thing hastily, or hurriedly, before its time; syn. أَعْجَلَهُ عَنْ وَقْتِهِ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, TS, K. *) b3: غَرَضَ السَّخْلَ, (S, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above; (TA;) and ↓ غرّضها; (K;) (assumed tropical:) He weaned the lambs, or kids, before their time. (ISk, S, K.) b4: غَرَضَتْ سِقَآءَهَا, (S, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (S,) (assumed tropical:) She (a woman, S) churned, or agitated, the contents of her milk-skin, and when its butter had formed in little clots but had not collected together, she poured out the milk, and gave it to people to drink. (ISk, S, K. *) b5: غَرَضْتُ لَهُ غَرِيضًا (tropical:) I gave him to drink fresh milk. (TA.) b6: غَرَضْتُ لِلضَّيْفِ غَرِيضًا (tropical:) I fed the guests with food that had not been kept through the night: so in the A: but in the K, لَهُمْ ↓ أَغْرَضَ غَرِيضًا (tropical:) he kneaded for them fresh dough, and did not feed them with food that had been kept through the night. (TA.) A5: غَرَضَهُ, aor. ـِ [inf. n. غَرْضٌ,] also signifies He filled it, namely, a vessel, (S, K,) and a skin, and a wateringtrough; (TA;) and so ↓ اغرضهُ. (K.) b2: and He stopped short of filling it completely. (S, K. [See also 2.]) Thus it has two contr. significations. (S, K.) A rájiz says, لَقَدْ فَدَى أَعْنَاقَهُنَّ المَحْضُ وَالدَّأْظُ حَتَّى مَا لَهُنَّ غَرْضُ (S, TA,) i. e. Verily the محض and the دأظ [the pure milk and the fatness and fulness so that there is no deficiency in their skins] have ransomed them from being slaughtered and sold. (TA.) [But see غَرْضٌ below.] b3: Also, aor. ـِ inf. n. غَرْضٌ, He broke it (i. e. a thing) without separating it. (TA.) A6: غَرَضَ البَعِيرَ, (S,) or النَّاقَةَ, (K,) [aor. ـِ as appears from the word مَغْرِضٌ, for otherwise, by rule, it would be مَغْرَضٌ,] inf. n. غَرْضٌ, (K,) He bound the غَرْض upon the camel; (S;) as also ↓ اغْتِرضهُ; (TA;) or he bound the she-camel with the غُرْضَة, (K,) or غَرْض; (TA;) as also ↓ أَغْرَضَهَا; (K;) and in like manner, غَرَضَ البَغِيرَ بِالغَرْضِ. (TA.) 2 غرّض, inf. n. تَغْرِيضٌ, He ate fresh flesh-meat. (K.) b2: See also غَرَضَ, in two places.

A2: One says also, غَرِّضْ فِى سِقَائَكَ Fill not thy skin [completely; leave a portion unfilled in thy skin]. (S.) b2: And فُلَانٌ بَحْرٌ لَا يُغَرَّضُ i. e. [Such a one is a sea] that will not become exhausted. (S, A, TA.) A3: And غرّض signifies also تَفَكَّهَ, (K, TA.) [meaning He affected jesting, or joking, for it is] said in the I. to be from الفُكَاهَةُ signifying المُزَاحُ. (TA.) 3 غارض إِبِلَهُ (tropical:) He brought his camels to the watering-place early in the morning; in the first part of the day. (A, O, K.) 4 اغرضهُ He made him to be vexed, or disquieted by grief, and by distress of mind; to be grieved, and distressed in mind: he made him to be disgusted; to turn away with disgust. (S.) A2: See also 1, latter half, in two places.

A3: اغرض النَّاقَةَ: see 1, last sentence.

A4: اغرض He (a man) hit, or attained, the غَرَض [i. e. the butt, or object of aim, &c.]. (IKtt.) 5 تغرّض, (K, TA,) thus in the O, on the authority of Ibn-'Abbád; but accord. to the Tekmileh, ↓ انغرض; (TA;) said of a branch, It broke without breaking in pieces: (K, TA:) or, accord. to the L, the latter signifies It bent and broke without becoming separated. (TA.) 7 إِنْغَرَضَ see what next precedes.8 اِغْتَرَضَ: (so in a copy of the A: [and if this be correct, the primary signification seems to be It (a thing) was plucked, or taken, while it was fresh, juicy, moist, or not flaccid: quasi-pass. of غَرَضَ in the first of the senses assigned to it as a trans. v. above:]) or اُغْتَرِضَ: (so in the JK and TA: [and if this be correct, it is app. formed by transposition from اُغْتُضِرَ:]) (tropical:) He died in his fresh state; (JK;) [i. e.] he died a youth, or a young man: [the latter reading seems to be the right, for it is said to be] similar to اُحْتُضِرَ [evidently a mistranscription for اُخْتُضِرَ]. (A, TA.) A2: اغترض الشَّىْءَ He made the thing his غَرَض [i. e. butt, or object of aim, &c.]. (TA.) A3: اغترض البَعِيرَ: see 1, last sentence.

(S, K.) [Hence the saying of Mohammad,] غُرْض shall not be bound [upon camels by pilgrims] except to three mosques; the sacred mosque [of Mekkeh], and my mosque [of ElMedeeneh], and the mosque [El-Aksà] of Beytel-Makdis [or Jerusalem]. (TA.) A2: غَرْضٌ also signifies (accord. to some, in the verse cited in the first paragraph, S, TA) The place of what thou hast left (مَوْضِعُ مَا تَرَكْتَهُ, not ماء [i. e. not مَآءٍ] as written in the S [and K], TA,) and not put into it anything: (S, K, TA:) and is said by some to be like the أَمْت [q. v.] in a skin. (TA.) b2: And A state of folding. (AHeyth, K.) And A man's having folds (غُرُوض) in the body when he has been fat and then has become lean. (Sgh, K.)

It is said in a trad., لَا تَتَّخِذُوا شَيْئًا فِيهِ الرَّوحُ غَرَضًا [Ye shall not take a thing in which is the vital principle as a butt]. (TA.) And hence one says, النَّاسُ أَغْرَاضُ المَنِيَّةِ (assumed tropical:) [Mea are the butts of destiny, or of death]: and جَعَلْتَنِى غَرَضًا لِشَتْمِكَ (assumed tropical:) [Thou madest me, or hast made me, a butt for thy reviling]. (TA.) b2: And hence, (tropical:) An object of aim or endeavour or pursuit, of desire or wish, or of intention or purpose: (Msb:) a scope; or any end which one endeavours, or seeks, or intends, or purposes, to attain: (B:) an object of want, and of desire: (TA:) the advantage, or good, which one seeks, or endeavours, or purposes, to attain, or obtain, from a thing: so much used in this tropical sense as to be, in this sense, conventionally regarded as proper. (MF.) You say, غَرَضُهُ كَذَا (tropical:) His object of aim or endeavour or pursuit, &c., is such a thing: (Msb:) or his object of want, and of desire, is such a thing (TA.) And فَعَلَ لِغَرَضٍ صَحِيحٍ (tropical:) He did, or acted, for a just, or right, object of aim &c. (Msb.)
