شر

شَرْشَرَةٌ ذ , ('Ináyeh, and so in some copies of the K,) or ↓ شُرْشُرَةٌ, (so in other copies of the K, accord. to the TA,) sing. of شَرَاشِرُ, (K,) which signifies The fringe-like extremities of a tail; (S, * K, * A, TA;) and of wings. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence, metaphorically, [or synecdochically,] the pl. is used as signifying (tropical:) The whole: and hence the saying, أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ شَرَاشِرَهُ (tropical:) He betook himself altogether to it; as though, says As, by reason of his eagerness, he threw himself altogether upon it: accord. to EshShiháb, it means he betook himself [ to it ], openly or secretly: or شَرَاشِرُ signifies (assumed tropical:) the whole body; (K;) and القى عليه شراشره and أَجْرَانَهُ and أَجْرَامَهُ, provs. mentioned by Meyd, all signify the same [app. (assumed tropical:) he threw upon it the weight of his body: see Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 409 and 410: and see art. جرم]: or the first of these means (assumed tropical:) he loved it so that he courted death, or destruction, (اِسْتَهْلَكَ,) in his love of it: (TA:) or he loved it with a love that he would not give up, because of his necessity: (Lth, TA:) or (tropical:) he desired it inordinately, or eagerly, and loved it. (A.) [See also أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَرْوَاقَهُ, voce رَوْقٌ. Accord. to different authorities,] شَرَاشِرُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) Burdens, or weights; (S, K;) sing. شَرْشَرَةٌ: (S:) and it is so expl. as used in the saying mentioned above: or it there signifies (assumed tropical:) weight, and whole person: or the reduplication implies intensiveness; as though this word originally signified weight of evil: but F, in his comments on the Preface of the Ksh, objects to this, as the word does not imply the contr. of خَيْرٌ, but dispersion. (TA.) Also (tropical:) Self: (K, TA:) and the saying mentioned above is expl. as meaning (tropical:) He threw himself upon it, through inordinate, or eager, desire, and love. (S, TA.) And (assumed tropical:) Love: (K:) or (assumed tropical:) love of self. (Kr, TA.)
