درأ

maṣdar دَرْءٌ, دَرْأَةٌ, and درّأهُ — though this last probably has an intensive meaning. He pushed it, or thrust it away, or repelled it, or averted it, namely a thing; synonymous with دَفَعَهُ.

Also دَرَهَ, formed by substitution from the first, like هَرَاقَ from أَرَاقَ — see art. دره.

Here "averted" renders دَفَعَ. Or: he deferred his prescribed castigation; and the verb is used in the same way of other things.

Both of these come from traditions.

That is, the plague, or pestilence, of camels, with a tumour in his back or in his نَحْر [the stabbing-place, in the uppermost part of the breast]; but in a female it is in the udder. Or: he had a tumour in his نَحْر.

The adjective applied to the male is دَارِئٌ, and, according to ISk, to the female as well, meaning attacked by the غُدَّة in her مَرَاق — thus, without teshdeed to the ق — which means the part of her throat where the water passes, or in her مَرَاقّ [the thin and soft parts of the belly], so that the swelling of the غُدَّة [the pestilential tumour] is visible; and this swelling is called دَرْءٌ.

See form 1, first sentence.

They repelled, or strove to repel, one another in contention or dispute, and disagreed.

اِدَّارَأْتُمْ is originally تَدَارَأْتُمْ: the ت is incorporated into the د, because they have the same place of utterance, and the ا is added to begin the word. The meaning is: you disagreed, and repelled, or strove to repel, one another.

In the Kur 2:67; because those who contend repel one another. Or: you repelled, or strove to repel, one another, each of you casting the slaughter upon his fellow.

Like خِمِّيرٌ and سِكِّيرٌ, or سِكِّينٌ, from دَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا فُلَانٌ and دُرِّىْءٌ; the only instance of the measure فُعِّيلٌ except مُرِّيقٌ [which last word Golius and Freytag mistook for a noun qualified by the adjective درّىء].

A 'Obeyd says that when the first letter is pronounced with damm it is دُرِّىٌّ, without ء, a relative noun from دُرٌّ, of the measure فُعْلِىٌّ [and the like is said in the K, though دُرِّىْءٌ is also mentioned there as correct], because to his knowledge there is no word of the measure فُعِّيلٌ in the language of the Arabs; and that whoever pronounces it [دُرِّىْءٌ] with ء takes it to be [originally of the measure] فُعُّولٌ, like سُبُّوحٌ, one of its vowels being changed to kesr because the word is felt hard to pronounce. Akh also mentions دَرِّىْءٌ, with ء, of the measure فَعِّيلٌ, with fet-h to the first letter, on the authority of Katádeh and AA.

One also says هُوَ ذُو تُدْرَأٍ, تُدْرَهٍ, هُوَ ذُو تُدْرَئِهِمْ, and تُدْرَهَهِمْ — see art. دره.
