حرض

حَرَضٌ حرض Corruptness in the body, and in the intellect, (Ibn-'Arafeh, A, K,) and (assumed tropical:) in one's course of conduct, or tenets. (Ibn-'Arafeh, K.) [See 1.] -A2- A man in a corrupt, or disordered, state, and sick, or diseased, (S, K,) so that he defiles himself (يُحْدِثُ [but in some copies of the S this word is omitted]) in his clothes; (S;) as also ↓ حَارِضَةٌ and ↓ حَارِضٌ and ↓ حَرِضٌ; (K;) ↓ which last also signifies a man having his stomach in a corrupt, or disordered, state; and suffering protracted disquietude of mind, and disease: (TA:) also the first, (حَرَضٌ,) weary, or fatigued: (K:) and at the point of death; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ حَاِرضٌ; (K;) which last also signifies one near to dying, or to perishing; and having his body corrupted, or disordered, by disease, so as to be at the point of death, and so ↓ حَرِضٌ; (TA;) and [in like manner] ↓ مُحْرَضٌ signifies dying, or perishing, from disease, being neither living so as to be an object of hope, nor dead so as to be an object of despair: (T, TA:) حَرَضٌ also signifies emaciated (lit. dissolved ) by grief, or by excessive love; (AA accord. to the S, or AO accord. to the TA, and K;) as also ↓ مُحْرَضٌ, (S,) or ↓ مُحَرَّضٌ: (K:) and heavily oppressed by disease; or constantly affected thereby so as to be at the point of death: so in the Kur xii. 85: (K:) [in the CK, حَرَضًا is her erroneously put for مَرَضًا:] or it there signifies heavily pressed upon by disease; or affected by constant disease: (AZ:) or extremely aged; or old and weak: (Katádeh:) and anything withering: (TA:) [the following observation, which is inserted in the S after the first of the significations here given of حَرَضٌ used as an epithet, and in the K after a later signification which is said to be tropical, applies to it, when so used, in all its senses:] it is employed alike as sing. as pl. (Fr, S, K) and masc. (Fr) and fem.; (Fr, K;) being originally an inf. n.: (Fr, Msb:) or, like every inf. n. used as an epithet, it is for ذُو followed by the inf. n., and therefore has no dual nor pl. form: (Zj:) but some of the Arabs use ↓ حَارِضٌ as an epithet applied to a male, and ↓ حَارِضَةٌ as applied to a female; and these have duals and pls.: (Fr:) and sometimes حَرَضٌ has pls.; namely أَحْرَاضٌ; (K;) which is also pl. of حَرِضٌ and of حَارِضٌ; or, accord. to the L, it is allowable as a pl. of حَرِضٌ, in the place of the more common pl. حَرِضُونَ; (TA;) and ↓ حُرْضَانِ; (K;) which is more approved; (TA;) and حَرِضَةٌ. (K: [this last being expressly said in the TA to be thus written, but in the CK it is written حَرَضَة.]) ― -b2- Also, applied to a man, (A,) (tropical:) Possessing no good; (A, K;) like ↓ حَارِضَةٌ, (TA,) which latter is explained by As as signifying a man in whom is no good: (T, TA:) or the former, one whose good is not hoped for, nor his evil feared: (K:) and a bad man: (K:) and low, base, mean, or sordid; unable to rise from, or quit, his place; as also ↓ حَرِيضٌ and ↓ حَرِضٌ and ↓ مُحَرَّضٌ, (K, [this last, in the CK, written مُحَرِّض,]) or ↓ مُحْرَضٌ, (TA,) and ↓ اـِحْرِيضٌ: (K:) or low, base, mean, or sordid; in whom is no good: (TA:) and [in like manner] ↓ حَارِضٌ signifies bad, corrupt, or vitious, and neglected, or forsaken; (K;) and so ↓ مَحْرُوضٌ, (TA,) and ↓ حِرْضَةٌ, of which the pl. is حِرَضٌ; (TA;) ↓ مَحْرُوضٌ also signifying made, or asserted, to be low, base, mean, or sordid; (K, TA;) and so ↓ حَارِضٌ, and ↓ حِرْضَةٌ; and this last signifying also having in him no good: (TA:) and حَرَضٌ likewise signifies one who does not take to himself arms, nor fight: (Lth, K:) its pl. is أَحْرَاضٌ (A, TA) and ↓ حُرْضَانٌ: (TA:) both these pls. signify weak men, who will not fight: (S:) and the former of them is explained as signifying the lowest, basest, or meanest, sort of mankind: and men corrupt in their course of conduct, or tenets: also the latter of them as signifying men who know not the place of their chief: and ↓ حَارِضٌ, of which the fem. is with ة, signifies a stupid man. (TA.) ― -b3- Also, applied to a she-camel, Lean, or emaciated: (K, TA:) and ↓ حُرْضَانٌ, so applied, vile: and perishing, or dying; in which sense it is likewise applied to a male camel. (TA.) ― -b4- Also, applied to language, or speech, (assumed tropical:) Bad; (K;) and so, by poetic license, ↓ حَرْضٌ; or this, accord. to Sgh, is a dial. var.: (L, TA:) and perishing: pl. أَحْرَاضٌ. (TA.)
