درن

دَرَنٌ دار درن درنن Dirtiness, or filthiness; or dirt, or filth: (S, M, K:) or defilement, or pollution, with dirt or filth: (T, K:) and accord. to the K, ↓ الاـِدْرَوْنٌ also is syn. with الدَّرَنُ; but ISd says that this is not known. (So in the TA. [In the text of the M, however, as given in the TT, in the place of الدَّرَنُ in this case I find الرَدِىآ (for الرَّدِىْءُ, i. e. the bad, &c.); and another passage in the M, respecting a signification of اـِدْرَوْنٌ, (which see below,) suggests that the explanation of الاـِدْرَوْنُ as meaning الدَّرَنُ may have been taken from this passage in consequence of an oversight.]) مَاكَانَ اـِلَّا كَدَرَنٍ بِكَفِّى, meaning It was no otherwise than like dirt in my hand, which I therefore wiped with the other hand, is a prov. applied in the case of a thing done in haste. (M.) ― -b2- [Hence,] أُمُّ دَرَنٍ means (assumed tropical:) The present world, or the present state of existence. (Z, K.) ― -b3- دَرَنٌ is also used as meaning (assumed tropical:) Vileness, ignominy, or abjectness. (Har p. 509.)
