عرض

5 تعرّض ذ : see عَرَضَ, near the beginning, where these two verbs, and اعرض and اعترض, are said to be used as syn.; [app. as meaning It showed, presented, or offered, itself, to a person; lit. it showed, or presented, its breadth, or width; or, as تعرّض is expl. in the EM p. 19, it showed its عُرْض, i. e. side: this, or it, or he, presented, or offered, or exposed, its, or his, side, seems to be the primary signification of تعرّض, and of اعترض, as well as of عَرَضَ; and is of frequent occurrence: and all (as mentioned voce عَرَضَ) signify also he obtruded himself in an affair; interfered therein.] ― -b2- [Hence,] تعرّض لَهُ He opposed himself to him; he offered opposition to him; or he attacked him; said of a man, and of a beast of prey, or noxious reptile, and the like; as also ↓ عَرَضَ and ↓ اعترض: this signification also is of frequent occurrence. (The lexicons passim.) ― -b3- [Hence also,] He addressed, or applied, or directed, himself, or his regard, or attention, or mind, to him, or it; [as though he set himself over against the object to which the verb relates;] syn. تَصَدَّى. (Lth, Lh, S, O, Msb, K.) So in the saying, تعرّض لِمَعْرُوفِهِمْ and مَعْرُوفَهُمْ [ He addressed himself, &c., presented himself, betook himself, advanced, came forward, or went forward, or attempted, to obtain their favour, or bounty ]: and تعرّض لِلْمَعْرُوفِ and المَعْرُوفَ [ He addressed himself, &c., to obtain favour, or bounty; and] he sought, or demanded, it: (Az, Msb:) and [so] للمعروف ↓ اعترض (Msb in art. عر. [See also اعترض لَهُ.]) So too in the saying, تَعَرَّضُوا لِنَفَحَاتِ رَحْمَةِ ا@للّٰهِ [ Address ye yourselves, &c., to become objects of the effusions of the mercy of God ]; (O, K, TA;) occurring in a trad. (TA.) And hence the saying, تعرّض فِى شَهَادَتِهِ لِكَذَا He addressed himself, &c., (تصدّى,) in his testimony, to the mention of such a thing. (Msb.) It is likewise syn. with تصدّى in the saying, تعرّض لِى فُلَانٌ بِمَكْرُوهٍ [ Such a one addressed himself, &c., or attempted, to do me an abominable, or evil, action; or opposed himself to me with an abominable, or evil, action ]. (Lth.) [In like manner also you say,] يَتَعَرَّضُ لِلنَّاسِ بِالشَّرِّ [ He addresses himself, &c., to do to men evil; or he opposes himself to men with evil or mischief ]. (S, K.) And مَا تَعَرَّضْتُ لَهُ بِسُوْءٍ [ I did not address myself, or have not addressed myself, &c., to do to him evil ]: and ↓ مَا عَرَضْتُ and ↓ مَا عَرِضْتُ are said to signify the same. (Msb.) [See 1.] You say also, تَعَرَّضْتُ أَسْأَلُهُمْ [ I addressed myself, &c., to ask them ]. (S, O. *) And جَاآءَ فُلَانٌ يَتَعَرَّضُ, and يَتَضَرَّعُ, Such a one came asking, or petitioning, to another, for a thing that he wanted. (Fr, in S, art.ضرع.) ― -b4- And تعرّض الرِّفَاقَ He asked the companies of travellers for what are termed عُرَاضَات [pl. of عُرَاضَةٌ, q. v.]. (TA.) ― -b5- تعرّض لِكَذَا [also signifies He exposed himself, or became exposed, to such a thing ]. (S.) See 2, latter portion. ― -b6- Also تعرّض, [from عُرْضٌ,] He, or it, turned aside; turned from the right course or direction; syn. تَعَوَّجَ; (S, K, TA;) and زَاغَ: (TA:) his, or its, course, or march, was, or became, indirect, or oblique. (L, TA.) You say, تعرّض الجَمَلُ فِى الجَبَلِ The camel went to the right and left, [ in, or upon, the mountain, ] on account of the difficulty of the road, or way. (S, O, K.) And تَعَرَّضَتِ الاـِبِلُ المَدَارِجَ The camels went along the routes (فِى المَدَارِجِ) [المَدَارِجَ being in the accus. case because فى is understood, not that the verb is trans.] to the right and left; (A;) i. e., alternately to the right and left. (T in art. ثنى.) [See a verse cited voce تَصَدَّفَ, and its explanation.] Dhu-l-Bijádeyn, being guide to the Apostle, addressing his she-camel, said, تَعَرَّضِى مَدَارِجًا وَسُومِى تَعَرُّضَ الجَوْزَاآءِ لِلنُّجُومِ هٰذَا أَبُو القَاسِمِ فَا@سْتَقِيمِى (S, O) Go thou along routes to the right and left, avoiding the rugged acclivities, [ and continue thy course, or as expl. in the TA, art. سوم, pass along quickly, ] (TA,) like as الجوزاء [ Orion ] passes along in the sky obliquely, or indirectly, in the disposition of its stars [ with respect to the other stars: (see 3, towards the end:) this is Abu-l- Kásim; therefore go thou right ]. (IAth, TA.) ― -b7- تعرّض الفَرَسُ فِى رَسَنِهِ i. q. اعترض, q. v. (TA.) You say also, of a camel, فِى سَيْرِهِ ↓ يَعْتَرِضُ [ He inclines towards one side, in his march, or course; or goes obliquely, or inclining towards one side ]. (K: and so in one copy of the S: in another copy of the S, يَتَعَرَّضُ. [See also 3, last quarter.]) ― -b8- تعرّض also signifies It (a thing) became infected, vitiated, or corrupted; and in this sense it is said of love: (TA:) [as though it turned from the right course, or direction; a signification mentioned before; and thus it is expl. in the S, as occurring in the phrase تعرّض وَصْلُهُ, in the Mo'allakah of Lebeed; or, thus used, it signifies] it (a person's attachment to another) became altered, so as to cease.
