1 دَرِعَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. دَرَعٌ, He (a horse, and a sheep or goat,) was black in the head, and white [in the other parts]: or, as some say, was black in the head and neck.

And اِدَّرَعَتْ She (a woman) clad herself with a دِرْع, (S, K,) i. e. a قَمِيص [or shift]. (S, TA.) b2: ادّرع مِدْرَعَةً, and ↓ تدرّعها, and ↓ تَمَدْرَعَهَا, (Kh,) and ↓ تدرّع alone, (S,) and ↓ تَمَدْرَعَ, (S, K,) but this last is of weak authority, (S,) He clad himself with a مِدْرَعَة [q. v.]. (S, K,) b3: ادّرع فُلَانٌ اللَّيْلِ (tropical:) Such a one entered into the darkness of the night, journeying therein; (K, TA;) like اِغْتَمَدَ اللَّيْلَ. (S and L in art. غمد.) Hence the saying, (TA,) شَمِّرْ ذَيْلًا وَادَّرِعْ لَيْلًا (tropical:) Use thou prudence, or precaution, or good judgment, and journey all the night. (S, K.) [See also art. شمر.] b4: ادّرع الخَوْفَ (tropical:) He made fear as it were his innermost garment; by closely cleaving to it. (TA.) Q. Q. 2 تَمَدْرَعَ: see 8, in two places.

دِرْعٌ A coat of mail; syn. زَرَدِّيَةٌ: (IAth, Msb, TA:) [or a coat of defence of any kind; being a term applied in the S and K &c. to a يَلَبَة, i. e. a coat of defence of skins, or of camel's hide:] and also, of plate-armour: (AO, in his book on the دِرْع and بَيْضَة, cited in the TA voce مِغْفَرٌ:) [but the first is the most general, and proper, meaning:] as meaning a دِرْع of iron, it is fem.; (S, Mgh, K *) or mostly so; (Msb;) but sometimes masc.: (K:) AO says that it is masc. and fem.; (S, TA;) and so Lh: (TA:) pl. أَدْرُعٌ and أَدْرَاعٌ and دُرُوعٌ; (S, Msb, K;) the first and second, pls. of pauc.; the third, a pl. of mult. (S.) The dim. is ↓ دُرَيْعٌ, which is anomalous, (S, Msb, K,) for by rule it should be with ة; (S;) or this may be [a regular form] of the dial. of those who make the word masc.; and some say ↓ دُرَيْعَةٌ. (Msb.) b2: Also A woman's قَمِيص [or shift]; (S, Msb, K;) a garment, or piece of cloth, in the middle of which a woman cuts an opening for the head to be put through, and to which she puts arms [or sleeves], and the two openings of which [at the two sides] she sews up: (T, TA:) or a woman's garment which is worn above the قَمِيص: or, accord. to El-Hulwánee, one of which the opening for the head to pass through extends towards, or to, the bosom; whereas the قميص is one of which the slit is towards, or to, the shoulder-joint; but this [says Mtr] I find not in the lexicons: (Mgh:) a small garment which a young girl wears in her house, or chamber, or tent: (TA:) as meaning a woman's دِرْع, it is masc., (Lh, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) only; (Lh;) or sometimes fem.: (TA:) pl. أَدْرَاعٌ. (S, K.) [See a verse cited voce مِجْوَلٌ.]

دَرَعٌ Whiteness in the breast of a sheep, or goat, and in its نَحْر [or part where it is slaughtered, but وَنَحْرِهَا, in the K, is probably a mistranscription, for وَنَحْوِهَا, meaning and the like thereof, i. e., of the sheep, or goat], and blackness in the thigh. (Lth, K.) [See also 1; and see دُرْعَةٌ.]

لَيَالٍ دُرَعٌ: see أَدْرَعُ.

دُرْعَةٌ, in a horse, and in a sheep or goat, Blackness of the head, and whiteness [of the other parts]: or, accord. to some, blackness of the head and neck: a subst. from دَرِعَ [q. v.]. (Msb.) b2: See also أَدْرَعُ, in the middle of the paragraph.

دَارِعٌ Having, or possessing, a دِرْع [or coat of mail]: (Mgh:) or a man having upon him a دِرْع; (S, K;) as though having, or possessing, a دِرْع; [being properly a possessive epithet] like لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ. (S.) أَدْرَعُ, applied to a horse, and to a sheep or goat, Having a black head, the rest being white: (S, Msb, * K:) or, as some say, having a black head and neck, (Msb, TA,) the rest being white: (TA:) or having a white head and neck, the rest being black: (TA:) fem. دَرْعَآءُ: (S, Msb:) pl. دُرْعٌ: (S:) or دَرْعَآءُ signifies having what is termed دَرَعٌ [q. v.]; applied to a sheep or goat, (K,) and to a mare: (TA:) or a sheep or goat black in the body, and white in the head: or black in the neck and head, the rest of her being white: or, accord. to Az, a ewe having a black neck: or, accord. to Aboo-Sa'eed, sheep or goats differing in colour: or, accord. to ISh, black except in having the neck white: and red [or brown], but having the neck white: and also, having the head with the neck white: accord. to Az, the right explanation is that given by Az, meaning having the fore part black; being likened to the nights termed دُرَعٌ; or the latter are likened to the former: and hence, (TA,) b2: لَيْلَةٌ دَرْعَآءُ (tropical:) A night of which the moon rises at the dawn, (K,) or at the commencement of the dawn; the rest thereof being black, and dark. (TA.) And ↓ لَيَالٍ دُرَعٌ, (S, K,) said by AHát to have been heard by him only on the authority of AO, but so accord. to As and A 'Obeyd and AHeyth, (TA,) and دُرْعٌ; (K;) the former contr. to rule, for by rule it should be دُرْعٌ, its sing. being دَرْعَآءُ; (A 'Obeyd, S;) or, accord. to AHeyth, you say ثَلَاثٌ دُرَعٌ وَثَلَاثٌ ظُلَمٌ, and دُرَعٌ and ظُلَمٌ are pls. of ↓ دُرْعَةٌ and ظُلْمَةٌ, not of دَرْعَآءُ and ظَلْمَآءُ; and Az says that this is correct and regular; but IB says that دَرْعَآءُ has دُرَعٌ for its pl. for the purpose of assimilation to ظُلَمٌ in the saying ثَلَاثٌ ظُلَمٌ وَثَلَاثٌ دُرَعٌ, and that no other instance had been heard by him of a word of the measure فَعْلَآءُ having a pl. of the measure فُعَلٌ; (TA;) (tropical:) Three nights of the month which follow those called البِيضُ; (As, S, K; *) namely, the sixteenth and seventeenth and eighteenth nights; (TA;) because of the blackness of their first parts, and the whiteness of the rest thereof: (S, K:) there is no difference in what As and Az and ISh say respecting them: but some say that they are the thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth; because part of them is black and part of them white: [this, however, seems to have originated from a misunderstanding of an explanation running thus; three nights of the month which follow those called البِيض, which, meaning the latter, are the thirteenth &c.; for the thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth are all white:] or, accord. to AO, اللَّيَالِى الدُّرَعُ signifies the nights of which the fore parts are black and the latter parts white, of the end of the month; and those of which the fore parts are white and the latter parts black, of the commencement of the month. (TA.) b3: أَدْرَعُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) One whose father is free, or an Arab, and whose mother is a slave; syn. هَجِينٌ; (K;) as also مُعَلْهَجٌ. (TA.)

مِدْرَعَةٌ A certain garment, [a tunic,] like that called ↓ دُرَّاعَةٌ, never of anything but wool, (Lth, K,) [and having sleeves; for] mention is made, in a trad., of a مدرعة narrow in the sleeve; wherefore the wearer, in performing the ablution termed وُضُوْء, put forth his arm from beneath the مدرعة, and so performed that ablution: (TA:) accord. to some, the ↓ درّاعة is a [garment of the kind called] جُبَّة, slit in the fore part; (TA;) [thus resembling a kind of جُبَّة worn by persons in Northern Africa, reaching to, or below, the knees, and having the two front edges sewed together from the bottom, or nearly so, to about the middle of the breast: it is said in the MA to be a wide vest or shirt; a large جُبَّة: and the مِدْرَعَة is there said to be a woollen دُرَّاعَة; a woollen tunic: El-Makreezee (cited by De Sacy in his “ Chrest. Arabe,” 2nd ed., vol. i., p. 125,) describes the ↓ دراّعة as a garment worn in Egypt particularly by Wezeers, slit in the fore part to near the head of the heart, with buttons and loops: Golius describes it as “ tunica gossipina, fere grossior; ” adding, “estque exterior tum virilis tum muliebris; ” as on the authority of J, who says nothing of the kind, and of the Loghat Neamet-Allah: and as epomis, seu amiculum quod humeris injicitur; on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof: J only says,] the ↓ مِدْرَع and مِدْرَعَة are one; and ↓ دُرَّاعَةٌ is sing. of, or signifies one of what are called, دَرَارِيعُ: (S:) the pl. of مدرعة is مَدَارِعُ. (MA.) A2: Also The [appendage called]

صُفَّة [q. v.] of a رَحْل [or camel's saddle], when the heads of the وَاسِطَة [or fore part (Az says the وَسَط, accord. to the TA,)] and the آخِرَة [or hinder part] appear from [above] it. (K.)

(TA.) A2: The first (سِرْوَةٌ) also signifies The locust in its first state, when it is a larva; (S;) or in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg: (M:) originally with hemz: (S:) [see سَرْءٌ, in two places:] and سِرْيَةٌ is a dial. var. thereof. (S.) [See also جَرَادٌ.]

سَرِىٌّ, as an epithet applied to a man, (S, M, K, &c.,) may be from اِسْتَرَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ “ I chose, or selected, the thing,” or from السَّرَاةُ “ the higher, or highest, part ” of a thing, (Ham p. 337,) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, from سَرَوْتُ الثَّوْبَ عَنِّى “ I pulled off the garment from me,” (TA, [in which this derivation is said to be good, but I think it far-fetched,]) Possessing liberality, bountifulness, munificence, or generosity, combined with manliness, or manly virtue: (S, Mgh:) or possessing manliness, or manly virtue, (M, K,) and, (M,) or combined with, (K,) high or elevated rank or condition, nobility, dignity, honour, or glory: (M, K:) or i. q. رَئِيسٌ [meaning a chief, or person high in rank or condition]: (Msb:) [or a generous and manly or noble person:] fem. with ة: (M, K:) and ↓ مَسْرَوَانٌ signifies the same, applied to a man; and ↓ مَسْرَوَانَةٌ applied to a woman: (M:) the pl. of سَرِىٌّ is أَسْرِيَآءُ and سُرَوَآءُ (Lh, M, K) and سُرًى, (Az, K,) which is anomalous, (TA,) and سَرَاةٌ, (T, S, Mgh, * Msb,) [originally سَرَوَةٌ,] which is [also] anomalous, (T, TA,) the only instance of فَعَلَةٌ as the measure of a pl. of a word of the measure فَعِيلٌ, (S, Msb,) or it is a quasi-pl. n., (Sb, M, K,) and its pl. is سَرَوَاتٌ; (S, M, Mgh, * K;) meaning سَادَاتٌ [or chiefs, &c.]; (Mgh); and سُرَاةٌ, with damm, [originally سُرَوَةٌ,] is a dial. var. of سَرَاةٌ, as pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] of سَرِىٌّ: (IAth, TA:) the pl. of سَرِيَّةٌ is سَرِيَّاتٌ and سَرَايَا. (M, K.) Also Chosen, or choice, or select: (M:) what is good of anything; pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] سَرَاةٌ: (Ham p. 337:) the best, (Msb, TA, and Har p. 56,) and in like manner سَرَاةٌ [as a pl.]; (M, Msb, TA, and Ham p. 57, and Har ubi suprà;) the former, of men, (Har ubi suprà,) and of camels; (S;) and the latter, of men, (S, TA, and Ham ubi suprà, and Har,) and of cattle or camels and the like, (S, M, TA,) as also the former. (TA.) A2: See also art. سرى.

سُرِّيَّةٌ, said by some to be originally of the measure فُعُّولَةٌ, from سَرْوٌ: see art. سر.

أَسْرَى is of the measure أَفْعَلُ [denoting the comparative and superlative degrees] from السَّرْوُ signifying “ liberality, bountifulness, munificence, or generosity, combined with manliness, or manly virtue: ” [&c.:] whence the phrase أَسْرَاهُمْ سُودَدًا, meaning The best of them in respect of chiefdom or the like: or it may be from السُّرَى; meaning in this instance that the fame of the chiefdom, or the like, of him to whom it relates has pervaded the countries and spread among mankind; and this is more worthy of regard in respect of the method of grammatical analysis; from Mtr: (Har p. 363: [see art. سرى:]) [ISd, however, assigns the word to the present art.:] see 5, last sentence.

أَرْضٌ مَسْرُوَّةٌ A land containing the سِرْوَة, or locust in its first state, when it is a larva. (S.) [In a copy of the M, it is said to be from السَّرْوَةُ; and the context there indicates the meaning to be A land infested by a worm of the kind termed سَرْوٌ, of which سَرْوَةٌ is the n. un.: but probably السَّرْوَةُ, in this instance, is a mistranscription for السِّرْوَةُ, which is mentioned immediately after as meaning “ the locust in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg. ”]

مَسْرَوَانٌ; and its fem., with ة: see سَرِىٌّ.
