سرمد
سَرْمَدٌ [signifies, or implies,] Continuance, or incessant continuance, (دَوَام,
Kh,
M,
L, and اِتِّصَال,
Kh,
L,) of time, (
Kh,
M,
L,) either of night or of day. (
Kh,
L.) [I have said “ or implies ” because I have not found it used otherwise than as an
epithet, in the following senses.]
b2: Continuing; or continuing incessantly, or endlessly;
syn. دَائِمٌ; (
Zj,
S,
L,
K;) or دَائِمٌ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ. (
Nh,
L.) It is applied in this sense to night (
Nh,
L) [and also to day: to each in the
Kur xxviii. 71 and 72]: and to night as meaning Long. (
L,
K.)
b3: Accord. to El-Fakhr Er-
Rázee, it is derived from السَّرْدُ, which denotes consecutiveness and uninterruptedness, and the م is added to give intensiveness to the signification: if so, its proper place is in art. سرد; its measure being فَعْمَلٌ: (
MF:) [thus] its م is augmentative like the م in دُلَامِصٌ. (
Bd in xxviii. 71.)
b4: One says also, هُوَ لَكَ سَرْمَدًا He, or it, is thine ever, or for ever. (
Mgh in art. سمد.) سَرْمَدِىٌّ Having neither beginning nor end. (
KT.)
