مُسْتَدِرٌّ مستدر : see مُدِرٌّ, in two places. ― -b2- Also (tropical:) A number of arrows in their flight resembling the streaming of milk, by reason of the vehemence with which they are impelled; occurring in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb. (TA.) ― -b3- فَرَسٌ مُسْتَدِرٌّ فِى عَدْوِهِ (tropical:) [ A horse that runs far without being turned aside by anything ]. (A.) [See دِرَّةٌ, and see also دَرِّىٌّ and دَرِيرٌ.]

1 دَرَأَهُ ذ , aor. دَرَاَ , (M, Msb, K,) inf. n. دَرْءٌ (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) and دَرْأَةٌ; (K;) and ↓ درّأهُ; (M, TA; [or this latter has probably an intensive signification;]) He pushed it, or thrust it; or pushed it, or thrust it, away, or back; repelled it; or averted it; syn. دَفَعَهُ; (S, * M, Mgh, * Msb, K;) namely, a thing. (Msb.) Hence, كَانَ بَيْنَ عُمَرَ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاآءَ دَرْءٌ There was, between 'Omar and Mo'ádh Ibn-'Afrà, a contending, and a mutual pushing or thrusting, &c. (Mgh.) And دَرَأَ عَنْهُمْ He repelled from them, or defended them; as also دَرَهَ, which is formed by substitution from the former, like هَرَاقَ from أَرَاقَ. (S in art. دره.) And دَرَأَ عَنْهُ الحَدَّ He averted (دَفَعَ) from him the prescribed castigation: (M, Mgh:) or he deferred his prescribed castigation: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to other things. (AZ, T.) It is said in a trad., اِدْرَؤُوا الحُدُودَ بِالشُّبُهَاتِ [ Avert ye, or defer ye, the prescribed castigations on account of dubious circumstances ]. (ISk, M, TA.) And اِدْرَؤُوا الحُدُودَ مَا ا@سْتَطَعْتُمْ [ Avert ye, or defer ye, the prescribed castigations as long as ye are able ]. (S, form a trad.) ― -b2- See also 5. ― -b3- دَرَأَ عَنِ البَعِيرِ الحَقَبَ is explained by Sh as meaning He pushed back the kind girth of the camel: but AM says that the correct meaning is, he spread the kind girth upon the ground, and made the camel to lie down upon it [in order that he might gird him]. (TA.) [For] دَرَأَ signifies also He spread, or laid flat, (K, TA,) a thing upon the ground. (TA.) ― -b4- دَرَأَ الشَّىْءَ بِالشَّىْءَ He supported the thing by the thing; made the. thing to be a support to the thing. (TA.) [Hence,] دَرَأَ الحَائِطَ بِبِنَاآءٍ He conjoined the wall with a structure [ so as to support the former by the latter ]. (TA.) ― -b5- دَرَأَ بِحَجَرٍ He cast a stone; like رَدَأَ. (TA.) You say, دَرَأَهُ بِحَجَر and رَدَأَهُ بِهِ He cast a stone at him. (M in art. ردأ.) ― -b6- دَرَأَ said of a torrent, (K,) inf. n. دَرْءٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) It rushed, or poured forth with vehemence; as also ↓ اندرأ. (K.) And دَرَأَ الوَادِى بِالسَّيْلِ (assumed tropical:) The valley poured along the torrent. (TA.) [See also دَرْءٌ, below.] ― -b7- دَرَأَ, (K,) inf. n. دُرُوْءٌ, (TA,) is syn. with طَرَأَ [ He came from a place, or from a distant place, unexpectedly; &c.]. (K.) And you say, دَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا فُلَانٌ, (T, S, K, * TA,) inf. n. دُرُوْءٌ (S, TA) and دَرْءٌ; (TA;) and ↓ اندرأ (S, TA) and ↓ تدرّأ; (TA;) Such a one came, or came forth, upon us unexpectedly, (T, S, K, * TA,) or whence we knew not; as also طَرَأَ, (T,) and دَرَهَ. (IAar, TA in art. دره.) And عَلَيْهِ بِشَرٍّ ↓ اندرأ, vulg. اندرى, He came upon him suddenly with evil, or mischief. (TA.) ― -b8- Hence, i. e. from دَرَأَ signifying “ he came, or came forth, unexpectedly, ” (T, S, TA,) دَرَأَ, inf. n. دُرُوْءٌ, said of a star, meaning (tropical:) It shone, or glistened, (S, K, TA,) intensely, (S, TA,) and its light spread: (TA:) or, as some say, it rose. (T.) [Hence also,] دَرَأَتِ النَّارُ (assumed tropical:) The fire gave light, shone, was bright, or shone brightly.

(IAar, T.) The epithet applied to the male is ↓ دَارِئٌ: and so, accord. to ISk, to the female, (T, S,) meaning Attacked by the غُدَّة in her مَرَاق, (T, and so in a copy of the S,) thus, without teshdeed to the ق, signifying the part, of her throat, which is the place of passage of the water, (T, TA,) or in her مَرَاقّ [or thin and soft parts of the belly], (so in one of my copies of the S,) so that the protuberance of the غُدَّة [or pestilential tumour ] is apparent: which protuberance is termed ↓ دَرْءٌ. (T, S.)

2 دَرَّاَ see 1, first sentence.

3 مُدَارَأَةٌ ذ , primarily, (TA,) signifies The act of opposing; and repelling, or striving to repel: (S, TA:) or treating in an evil, or adverse, manner; and opposing: (A 'Obeyd, TA:) or the putting one off in the matter of a right or due, by promising to render it time after time; and treating in an evil, or adverse, and a contrary, manner. (Mgh in arts. درى and شرى.) One says, دَرَأْتُهُ I repelled him, or strove to repel him. (T, Msb, K.) And فُلَانٌ لَا يُدَارِئُ وَ لَا يُمَارِى, (S, TA,) i. e. Such a one does not act in an evil, or adverse, manner, nor oppose, [ nor does he wrangle, or dispute obstinately: ] and لا يُدَارِى, meaning, accord. to Sgh, if for لا يُدَارِئُ, does not repel, or strive to repel, him who has a right from his right. (TA.) ― -b2- Accord. to El-Ahmar, in [the exercise of] good disposition, (T, S,) and in social intercourse, (S,) it is with and without ء; (T, S;) contr. to the assertion of A 'Obeyd, who says that in this case it is without ء. (T.) [F says,] دَارَأْتُهُ is syn. with دَارَيْتُهُ and دَافَعْتُهُ and لَايَنْتُهُ [the second of which has a meaning explained above; the first and last meaning I treated him with gentleness or blandishment, soothed him, coaxed him, or wheedled him; &c.]; thus bearing two contr. significations: (K:) [or] دَرَأْتُهُ and دَارَيْتُهُ both signify I was fearful, or cautious, of him; and treated him with gentleness or blandishment, or soothed him, coaxed him, wheedled him, or cajoled him: (S:) [but Az says,] I say that the verb with ء means I was fearful, or cautious, of him, as says AZ; or of his evil, or mischief: and دَارَيْتُ signifies “ I deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or outwitted; ” as also دَرَيْتُ.

5 تَدَرَّاَ see 1. ― -b2- تدرّأ عَلَيْنَا He domineered over us. (S.) And تدرّؤوا عَلَيْهِمْ They domineered over them, (K, TA,) and aided one another against them. (TA.) ― -b3- تدرّؤوا, (M, K, TA,) and ↓ اِدَّرَؤُوا دَرِيْئَةً, (TA,) They concealed themselves from a thing in order to beguile it, or circumvent it: (M, K, TA:) or they made use of a ذَرِيعَة [or دَرِيْئَة] for hunting and spearing or thrusting [ or shooting objects of the chase ]: (TA:) and ↓ ادّرأتُ لِلصَّيْدِ, (S,) or الصَّيْدِ, (K,) I prepared for myself a دَرِيئَة for the chase: (S, K:) and ↓ دَرَأَ الدَّرِيْئَةَ لِلصَّيْدِ, aor. دَرَاَ , inf. n. دَرْءٌ, He drove the دريئة to the chase, and concealed himself by it. (M.)

6 تدارؤوا ذ They repelled, or strove to repel, one another (M, Msb, K) in contention, or altercation, (M, K,) and the like; and disagreed. (M.) اِدَّارَأْتُمْ is originally تَدَارَأْتُمْ, (S, K,) the ت being incorporated into the د, (S, TA,) because they have the same place of utterance, (TA,) and the ا being added to commence the word: (S, TA:) the meaning is, Ye disagreed; and repelled, or strove to repel, one another. (S.) فَا@دَّارَأْتُمْ فِيهَا, in the Kur ii. 67, means And ye contended together respecting it; because those who contend repel one another: or ye repelled, or strove to repel, one another, by each of you casting the slaughter upon his fellow. (Bd.)

7 اـِنْدَرَاَ see 1, in three places. ― -b2- The phrase الحُدُودُ تَنْدَرِئُ بِالشُّبُهَاتِ [ The prescribed castigations shall be, or are to be, averted, or deferred, on account of dubious circumstances, ] is agreeable with analogy, but has not been heard [from the Arabs of classical times]. (Mgh.) ― -b3- اندرأ الحَرِيقُ The fire [of a burning house &c.] spread, (K, TA,) and gave light, shone, was bright, or shone brightly. (TA.)

8 اـِدْتَرَاَ see 5, in two places.

دَرْءٌ درء and inf. n. of 1 in senses pointed out above. (S, M, &c.) So of that verb said of a torrent. (TA.) [Hence,] جَاآئَ السَّيْلُ دَرْءًا and ↓ دُرْءًا The torrent rushed, or poured forth with vehemence, [or came rushing, &c.,] from a place, (M, K,) or from a distant place, (TA,) unknown: (M, K, TA:) or the latter signifies the torrent came from a distant land or tract. (S.) And جَاآءَ ↓ الوَادِى دُرْءًا The valley flowed with the rain of another valley: if with its own rain, you say, سَالَ ظَهْرًا: (IAar, M; and the like is said in the TA in the present art. and in art. ظهر:) or سال دُرْءًا means it flowed with other than its own rain; and ظَهْرًا, “ with its own rain. ” (TA in art. ظهر.) Hence ↓ الدُّرْءُ has been metaphorically used by a rájiz to signify (tropical:) The flowing of water from the mouths of camels into their insides. (M.) -A2- A bending; (TA;) a crookedness, or curvity; (S, M, K, TA;) in a cane, or spearshaft, and the like; (M, K;) or in a staff, and anything that is hard to straighten: (T, TA:) pl. دُرُوْءٌ. (M.) One says, أَقَمْتُ دَرْءٌ فُلَانٍ (assumed tropical:) I rectified the crookedness and opposition, or resistance, of such a one. (S.) And hence, بِئْرٌ ذَاتُ دَرْءٍ A well having a part [ of its shaft ] projecting, or protuberant. (S, O.) And طَرِيقٌ ذُو دُرُوْءٍ A road having furrows, (M, * K, *) or abrupt, water-worn, ridges, (T, S, M,) and protuberances, and the like. (T.) ― -b2- The extremity, or edge, of a thing; because it repels therewith. (Ham p. 213.) ― -b3- A portion of a mountain that projects, or juts out, from the rest, (M, K, TA, and Ham p. 213 in explanation of the pl.,) unexpectedly: (TA:) pl. as above. (M.) ― -b4- See also 1, last sentence. ― -b5- Also (assumed tropical:) Disobedience, and resistance, and hatred, or dislike, (T, TA,) and crookedness, (T,) and disagreement, on the part of a wife. (T, TA.)

دُرْءٌ درء : see دَرْءٌ, in three places.

دَرِيْئَةٌ ذ A ring by aiming at which one learns to pierce or thrust [ with the spear ] (S, M, K) and to shoot: (T, * M, K:) said by As to be with ء: (S:) and also called وَتِيرَةٌ. (S in art. وتر.) 'Amr Ibn-Maadee-Kerib says, ظَلِلْتُ كَأَنِّى لِلرِّمَاحِ دَرِيْئَةٌ أُقَاتِلُ عَنْ أَبْنَاآءَ جَرْمٍ وَفَرَّتِ [ I passed the day as though I were a ring for the spears to be aimed at, fighting in defence of the sons of Jarm, when they had fled ].

[See also Ham p. 75, where it is written دَرِيَّةٌ.]) ― -b2- Also A camel, (T, S,) or other thing, (S,) or anything, (M, K,) by which one conceals himself (T, S, M, K) from the wild animals, (T,) or from the objects of the chase, (S, * M, K,) in order that they may be circumvented, (T, S, M, K,) so that when the man is able to shoot, or cast, he does so: (T, S:) like ذَرِيعَةٌ: (S in art. ذرع:) accord. to AZ, it is with ء, (S,) because the دريئة is driven (تُدْرَأُ, i. e. تُدْفَعُ,) towards the objects of the chase: (T, * S:) but IAth says that it is دَرِيَّةٌ, without ء; and that it signifies an animal by means of which the sportsman conceals himself, leaving it to pasture with the wild animals until they have become familiar with it and so rendered accessible to him, when he shoots, or casts, at them: (TA:) the pl. of دَرِيْئَةٌ is دَرَايَا and دَرَائئُ with two hemzehs, each of them extr.

السُّلْطَانُ ذُو تُدْرَأٍ ذ , (S, M, * K,) and ↓ تُدْرَأَةٍ, (K,) accord. to different relations of a trad. in which it occurs, (TA,) The Sultán is possessed of apparatus [ of war ], (عُدَّة, S, and so in some copies of the K,) or might, (عِزّ, so in other copies of the K,) and power, to repel his enemies: (S, M, * K: *) accord. to IAth, ذو تدرأ signifies impetuous, not fearing or dreading; and so, having power to repel his enemies: (TA:) it is used in relation to war and contention.

ذَاتُ المِدْرَأَةِ ذ The she-camel of violent spirit. (TA.)

دُرَاقِنٌ دراقن and دُرَّاقِنٌ, (K, and the latter is mentioned in one of my copies of the S,) the latter is that which is in common use, (TA,) The peach; syn. خَوْخٌ: (AHn, IDrd, K; and so in a copy of the S:) and the apricot; syn. مِشْمِشٌ; (K;) but this application of the words is not known: (TA:) of the Syrian dial.: (K, and so in a copy of the S:) IDrd says that the people of Syria call the former fruit دراقن, which is an arabicized Syrian word, or [rather] Greek, [originally δωράκιον ,] and El-Jawáleekee also mentions it among arabicized words.

5 تدرّب درب تدرب quasi-pass. of 2: (Msb:) see 1.

دَرْبٌ درب is not a word of Arabic origin: (Msb:) الدَّرْبٌ is [the Arabic name of the ancient Derbe, near the Cilician Gates, which were the chief mountain-pass, from the direction of the countries occupied by the Arabs, into the territory of the Greek Empire: these “ Gates ” are mentioned by El-Idreesee as fortified, and guarded by troops who watched the persons going and coming:] a well-known place in الرُّوم [or the territory of the Greek Empire ], mentioned by Imra-el-Keys, [as El-Idreesee also says,] in the words, بَكَى صَاحِبِى لَمَّا رَأَى الدَّرْبَ حَوْلَهُ [ My companion wept when he saw the درب around him; knowing himself to be in the power of the Greeks]. (MF, TA.) [Hence,] Any place of entrance, (Kh, T, M, A, Mgh [in my copy of which it is written دَرَب in all its senses], K,) or a narrow pass, (Mgh,) to [ the territory of ] الرُّوم: (Kh, T, M, A, Mgh, K:) or such as is not open at both ends: such as is open at both ends being called ↓ دَرَبٌ: (K:) or a place of entrance between two mountains: (Msb:) or a narrow pass in mountains: and hence it has another meaning well known: (S:) [i. e.] the gate of a سِكَّة [here meaning street: misunderstood by Golius, who has consequently explained دَرْبٌ as having, for one of its meaning, “ porta ingressusve palmeti ”]; used in this sense by the Arabs because it [i. e. the درب properly so called] is like a gate, or entrance, to that whereto it leads: (Msb:) or the gate of a wide سِكَّة: (T:) or a wide gate of a سِكَّة; and the largest gate; (M, K;) both of which explanations mean the same: (M:) and also a wide سِكَّة itself: so in the phrase, زُقَاقٌ أَوْ دَرْبٌ غَيْرُ نَافِذٍ [ a narrow street or a wide street not being a thoroughfare ]: (Mgh: [in my copy of which, دَرَبٌ is put for دَرْبٌ:]) [but in the present day, and as used by El-Makreezee and others, a by-street, whether wide or narrow, branching off from a great street, or passing through a حَارَة (or quarter ), open, or having a gate, at each end: ] pl. دُرُوبٌ (Kh, T, M, Mgh, TA) and دِرَابٌ. (Sb, K. [The former pl., the only one commonly known, is not mentioned in the K.]) ― -b2- Also A place in which dates are put to dry. (M, K.)

دَرَبٌ درب : see the next preceding paragraph.

دَرِبٌ درب [part. n. of دَرِبَ]. You say, هُوَ دَرِبٌ بِهِ [ He is accustomed, or habituated, to it; attached, addicted, given, or devoted, to it; and bold to do it, or undertake it: and] he knows it, has knowledge of it, or is knowing in it. (A, TA.) And some use ↓ دَارِبٌ as part. n. of دَرِبَ: (Msb:) it signifies Skilful in his handicraft: (IAar, T, Msb:) and with ة, intelligent: (IAar, T, K:) and skilful in her handicraft: (K:) and [hence] a female drummer. (IAar, T, K.) And عُقَابٌ ↓ دَارِبٌ (M) or عُقَابٌ دَارِبٌ عَلَى الصَّيْدِ (K) means دَرِبَةٌ (K) or دَرِبَةٌ بِالصَّيْدِ (M) [ An eagle accustomed, or habituated, or trained, to the chase; and bold to practise it ].

دُرْبَةٌ درب دربه دربة Custom, or habit; (IAar, T, S, M, A, K;) or habituation; (T, Msb;) and boldness to engage in, or undertake, war, and any affair: (IAar, T, S, A, * Msb, * K:) and ↓ دُرَّابَةٌ, (M, TA,) with teshdeed, (TA,) on the authority of IAar, (M, TA,) but written in the K ↓ دُرَابَة, (TA,) signifies the same. (M, K, TA.) One says, مَا زِلْتُ أَعْفُو عَنْ فُلَانٍ حَتَّى ا@تَّخَذَهَا دُرْبَةً [ I ceased not to forgive such a one until he took it as a habit ]. (T, * S.)

دَرَبُوتٌ دربوت (Lh, M, K [in the CK دَرَبُوبٌ]) and ↓ دَرُوبٌ, (K,) the former like تَرَبُوتٌ, in which the [initial] ت is [said to be] a substitute for د, (Lh, M,) A he-camel, (M, K,) or such as is termed بَكْرٌ, (Lh, M,) and a she-camel, (Lh, M, K,) submissive, or tractable, (M, K,) or rendered submissive or tractable: and a she-camel that will follow a person if he takes hold of her lip or her eyelash. (Lh, M, K. [But I read بِهُدْبِ عَيْنِهَا, as in the explanation of تَرَبُوتٌ in the TA, instead of نَهَزْتَ عَيْنَهَا in the M and CK in this art., and نَهَزَتْ عَيْنُهَا in my MS. copy of the K. See also تَرَبُوتٌ.])
