ذر

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

3 ذَارَّتْ ذ , (aor. تُذَارُّ, S,) inf. n. مُذَارَّةٌ and ذِرَارٌ, She (a camel) became evil in her disposition. (Fr, S, K.) Hence the saying of Hoteiäh, satirizing Ez-Zibrikán, and praising the family of Shemmás Ibn-Láy, وَكُنْتَ كَذَاتِ البَوِّ ذَارَتْ بِأَنْفِهَا فَمِنْ ذَاكَ تَبْغِى بُعْدَهُ وَتُهَاجِرُهْ i. e. [ And thou wast like her who has a stuffed skin of a young camel made for her and placed near her that she may incline to it and yield her milk, ] that has inclined to the young one of another; [ and on that account desires its distance from her, and severs herself from it: ] in the S we find, for البَوِّ, البَعْلِ; and for بُعْدَهُ, غَيْرَهُ; but the former are the correct readings: ذَارَتْ is a contraction of ذَارَّتْ: or, accord. to some, it is for ذَاآءَرَتْ: see art. ذأر. (IB and TA.) ― -b2- One says also, فِى فُلَانٍ ذِرَارٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) In such a one is aversion, arising from anger, like that of a she-camel: (AZ, S:) or anger and aversion (Th, M, K, TA) and disapprobation. (Th, TA)
