غرو

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

لَاغَرْوَ ذ signifies لَا عَجَبَ [meaning There is no case of wonder ], (Msb, K, and Ham p. 603,) the enunciative of لَا being suppressed, as though the saying were لَاغَرْوَ فِى الدُّنْيَا [ there is no case of wonder in the present world ] or مَوْجُودٌ [ existing ]; (Ham;) as also ↓ لَا غَرْوَى: (K:) or لَيْسَ بِعَجَبٍ [meaning it is not a case of wonder ]. (S.) One says, لَا غَرْوَ مِنْ كَذَا i. e. لَا عَجَبَ [meaning There is no case of wonder arising from such a thing, or, using غرو as an inf. n., (see 1, last signification,) there is no wondering at such a thing ]. (Har p. 488.) And the saying وَلَا غَرْوَ أَنْ يَحْذُو الفَتَى حَذْوَ وَالِدِهْ means And it is not a case of wonder (لَيْسَ بِعَجَبٍ), i. e. there is no wondering (لَا عَجَبَ), that the [ young ] man should follow the example of his father, doing the like of his deed. (Har p. 86.)
