1 أَرُضَــتِ الــأَرْضُ, (S, K, [in two copies of the S أُرِضَــت, but this is evidently a mistake,]) with damm, (S,) like كَرُمَت, (K,) inf. n. أَرَاضَةٌ, (S, M, K,) The land became thriving, or productive; (S, K;) as also ↓ استــأرضــت; (TA;) it became pleasing to the eye, and disposed by nature to yield good produce; (K, TA;) it became fruitful, and in good condition; (M;) it collected moisture, and became luxuriant with herbage; it became soft to tread upon, pleasant to sit upon, productive, and good in its herbage or vegetation: (AHn:) and أَرَضَــتِ الــأَرْضُ, (K,) aor. ـُ (TA,) the land became abundant in herbage, or pasture. (K.) b2: أَرُضَ, inf. n. أَرَاضَةٌ, is also said of a man, meaning (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, lowly, or submissive, and naturally disposed to good, or to do good. (L, TA,) A2: أَرَضَ الــأَرْضَ He found the land to be abundant in herbage, or pasture. (K.) A3: أُرِضَــتِ الخَشَبَةُ, (S, A, Msb, TA,) in the pass. form, (Msb,) like عُنِى, (TA,) aor. ـْ (S, TA,) inf. n. أَرْضٌ, (S, A, TA,) with sukoon [to the ر]; (S, TA;) and some add أَرِضَــت, aor. ـْ inf. n. as above; (TA; [and so in a copy of the S in the place of what here precedes;]) The piece of wood was, or became, eaten by the أَرَضَــة, q. v. (S, A, Msb, TA.) A4: أَرِضَــتِ القَرْحَةٌ, (S, M. K,) aor. ـَ (S, K,) inf. n. أَرَضٌ, (S, M,) The ulcer, or sore, became blistered, (S, M, K,) and wide, (M,) and corrupt (S, M, K) by reason of thick purulent matter, (S,) and dissundered; (M;) so says As; (TA;) as also ↓ استــأرضــت. (Sgh, K.) A5: أُرِضَ, like عُنِىَ, (K,) inf. n. أَرْضٌ; (TA;) or أَرِضَ, like سَمِعَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. أَرْضٌ; (L;) He was, or became, affected with زُكَام [or rheum]. (L, K.) 2 ارّض, (TK,) inf. n. تَأْرِيضٌ, (K,) He depastured the herbage of the earth, or land: and he sought after it: (K:) or, accord. to some, تَأْرِيضٌ denotes this latter signification with respect to a place of alighting, or abiding: (TA:) and you say [also], المَنْزِلَ ↓ تــأرّض he sought after, and chose, the place for alighting, or abiding: (M, TA:) and لِلْمَنْزِلِ ↓ تَرَكْتُ الحَىَّ يَتَــأَرَّضُــونَ I left the tribe seeking after a tract of country in which to alight, or abide. (TA.) A2: He, or it, rendered heavy; [app. meaning slow, or sluggish; see 5;] syn. ثَقَّلَ.

A3: آرَضَهُ, (S, K, [in the CK, incorrectly, اَرَضَهُ,]) inf. n. as above, (S,) He (God) caused him to be affected with زُكَام [or rheum]. (S, K.) 5 تارّض It (herbage) became in such a state that it might be cut. (S, K.) A2: He clave, or kept, to the ground, not quitting it: (A:) and ↓ آرض, inf. n. إِيرَاضٌ, he remained upon the ground: and تــأرّض بِالمَكَانِ he remained fixed in the place, not quitting it: or he waited, or expected, and stood upon the ground: and, as also بالمكان ↓ استــأرض, he remained, and tarried, or tarried in expectation, in the place: or he remained fixed therein: (TA:) and تــأرّض alone, he tarried, loitered, stayed, waited, or paused in expectation: (S, TA:) and he was, or became, heavy, slow, or sluggish, inclining, or propending, to the ground; (S, K;) [as also ↓ استــأرض, accord. to IB's explanation of its act. part. n.] You say, فُلَانٌ إِنْ رَأَى

A2: See also 1, first signification: A3: and see 1 again, last signification but one.

الــأَرْضُ [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 أَرْضَــةٌ, but this they did not say: (S:) or a pl. having no sing.; (A, K;) for أَرْضَــةٌ has not been heard: (K:) its pl. is أَرَضَــاتٌ, (S, K,) in [some of] the copies of the K أَرْضَــاتٌ, (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 أَرَضُــونَ, [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 أَرَضَــاتٌ], and have left the fet-hah of the ر as it was; (S;) but they also said أَرْضُــونَ, (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 أَرْضَــى, 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 أَرْضَــاةٌ, 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 أَرْضَــاةٌ and أَهْلَاةٌ; like as they said لَيْلَةٌ and لَيَال, as though this were pl. of لَيْلَاةٌ. (TA.) It is said in proverbs, أَجْمَعُ مِنَ الــأَرْضِ [More comprehensive than the earth]: (TA:) and آمَنُ مِنَ الــأَرْضِ [More trustworthy than the earth, in which treasures are securely buried]: and أَشَدُّ مِنَ الــأَرْضِ [Harder than the earth, or ground]: (A, TA:) and أَذَلُّ مِنَ الــأَرْضِ [More vile, or more submissive, than the earth, or ground]. (TA.) And you say, مَنْ أَطَاعَنِى كُنْتُ لَهُ أَرْضَــا (tropical:) [Whoso obeyeth me, I will be to him as ground whereon one treads]; denoting submissiveness. (A, TA.) And فُلَانٌ إِنٌ ضُرِبَ فَــأَرْضٌ (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. (TA.) b3: اِبْنُ الــأَرْضِ [with the art. ال prefixed to the latter word] is A certain plant, (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 الــأَرْضِ: (S in art. بنى:) and بَنَاتُ الــأَرْضِ 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 الــأَرْضِ pools in which are remains of water: (IAar in TA art. بسر:) and rivulets. (T in art. بنى.) b4: أَرْضٌ is also used to signify (assumed 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 the legs of a camel or of a horse or the like: and the part that is next to the ground thereof. (TA.) You say بَعِيرٌ شَدِيدُ الــأَرْضِ (tropical:) A camel strong in the legs. (TA.) And فَرَسٌ بَعِيدٌ مَا بَيْمَ أَرْضِــهِ وَسَمَائِهِ (tropical:) A horse that is large and tall. (A, TA.) b6: Also, of a man, (tropical:) The knees and what is beneath, or below, (lit. after,) them. (TA.) b7: And of a sandal, (assumed tropical:) [The lower surface of the sole;] the part that touches the ground. (TA.) A2: A febrile shivering; a tremor: (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 الــأَرْضُ 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 الــأَرْضِ 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. ”

Animalium &c., p. 96,) termes arda, destructor; and this] is like a large common ant, having wings; it is the bane of everything that is of wood, and of plants; except that it does not attack what is moist, or succulent; and it has legs: (AHn, TA:) the pl. is ↓ أَرَضٌ (AHn, Msb, TA) and أَرَضَــاتٌ; (Msb;) or, as some [more properly] say, أَرَضٌ is a quasi-pl.
