شرب

5 تَشَرَّبَ see 1, first sentence. ― -b2- Hence one says, (Mgh,) تشرّب الثَّوْبُ العَرَقَ, (S, Mgh, * K,) and الصِّبْغَ, (A, Mgh, L,) (tropical:) The garment, or piece of cloth, imbibed, or absorbed, (S, A, Mgh, * L, K,) the sweat, (S, Mgh, K,) and the dye; (A, Mgh, L;) as though it drank it by little and little: (Mgh:) and [in like manner] one says, الثَّوْبُ يشرب الصِّبْغَ [app. ↓ يُشْرَبُ, (like as one says يُشْرَبُ حُمْرَةً, as shown in the next preceding paragraph,) meaning (assumed tropical:) The garment, or piece of cloth, is made to imbibe, or absorb, the dye ]. (TA.) [It is said that] the verb is not used intransitively in the [proper] language of the Arabs. (Mgh.) [But] one says, تشرّب الصِّبْغُ فِى الثَّوْبِ, meaning (tropical:) The dye pervaded the garment, or piece of cloth: (K, * TA:) and الصِّبْغُ يَتَشَرَّبُ الثَّوْبَ (tropical:) [ The dye pervades the garment, or piece of cloth ]. (TA.) [See also the explanation of a verse cited voce تَسَقَّى.]
