نضر

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

نَاضِرٌ ذ (A, L, K) and ↓ نَضِيرٌ (A, L, Msb, K) and ↓ نَضِرٌ, (A, L,) [being epithets from نَضَرَ and نَضُرَ and نَضِرَ, respectively,] and ↓ أَنْضَرُ, accord. to the K, but in the place of this we find in the corresponding passage in the L the verb أَنْضَرَ, with the addition “ is like نَضَرَ, ” (TA,) Beautiful (Msb, K) and bright. (TA.) So in the Kur, lxxv. 22, وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Faces on that day shall be beautiful and bright: (Bd, Jel:) or shining by reason of enjoyment, or of a beautiful and pleasant and easy state of existence. (Fr.) [These epithets have also other, similar, significations, shown by explanations of نَضُرَ and its variations.] نَاضِرٌ is coupled with غَضٌّ, as an epithet applied to a boy, (A,) and so ↓ نَضِيرٌ; (TA,) and نَاضرَةٌ with غَضَّةٌ, applied to a girl, (A,) and so نَضِيرَةٌ; (TA;) and thus used are tropical. (A.) ― -b2- نَاضِرٌ also signifies Intense in greenness: (K:) you say أَخْضَرُ نَاضِرٌ [ intense, or bright, green ], (S, K,) like as you say أَصْفَرُ فَاقِعٌ and أَبْيَضُ نَاصِعٌ: (S:) and in like manner it is used as an intensive epithet applied to any colour: you say أَحْمَرُ نَاضِرٌ [ intense, or bright, red ], and أَصْفَرُ نَاضِرٌ [ intense, or bright, yellow ]: (K:) so says IAar: (TA:) or أَخْضَرُ نَاصِرٌ signifies smooth green, accord. to A'Obeyd, and Az adds, glistening in its clearness. (TA.)
