maṣdarمُذَارَّةٌmuḍāriʿتُذَارُّ

Core sense — she became evil in her disposition, said of a she-camelgenerated

3.1she became evil in her disposition—تُذَارُّ

Said of a she-camel. Maṣdar مُذَارَّةٌ and ذِرَارٌ.

Hence the saying of Hoteiäh, satirizing Ez-Zibrikán and praising the family of Shemmás Ibn-Láy:

shāhid
وَكُنْتَ كَذَاتِ البَوِّ ذَارَتْ بِأَنْفِهَافَمِنْ ذَاكَ تَبْغِى بُعْدَهُ وَتُهَاجِرُهْ

that is, [And you were like her who has a stuffed skin of a young camel made for her and set near her so that she may incline to it and yield her milk,] that has inclined to another's young one; [and for that reason wants it away from her, and cuts herself off from it.]

In the S we find, for البَوِّ, البَعْلِ, and for بُعْدَهُ, غَيْرَهُ; but the first readings are the correct ones.

ذَارَتْ is a contraction of ذَارَّتْ, or, according to some, it stands for ذَآءَرَتْ; see the article ذأر.

3.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredin such a one is aversion arising from anger, like that of a she-camel—فِى فُلَانٍ ذِرَارٌ

Qur’ān 10:61 Lane quotes this verse
وَمَا تَكُونُ فِى شَأْنٍ وَمَا تَتْلُوا۟ مِنْهُ مِن قُرْءَانٍ وَلَا تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ شُهُودًا إِذْ تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَا يَعْزُبُ عَن رَّبِّكَ مِن مِّثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَآ أَصْغَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْبَرَ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ

In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion thou mayest be reciting from the Qur'an,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)
