maṣdarرَيْشٌmuḍāriʿيَرِيشُ

Core sense — he feathered an arrow; he clothed him and provided for himgenerated

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredsuch a one neither feathers nor pares arrows—فُلَانٌ لَا يَرِيشُ وَ لَا يَبْرِى

. He feathered it, namely, an arrow; he stuck the feathers on it; or he repaired it, or put it into a right state, by putting the feathers on it; or he repaired its feathers.

ريّشهُ, maṣdar تَرْيِيشٌ, means the same; and so does ارتاشهُ.

Said as a proverb; the meaning is that such a one neither profits nor injures.

1.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredGod gave him property—رَاشَهُ ٱللّٰهُ مَالًا

He fed him, gave him drink, and clothed him — said of a friend.

He clothed him and helped him — said of a poor man, because such a one is like a bird with a clipped wing.

Said of God: He restored him from poverty to wealth, or to sufficiency; He strengthened his wing, [or power,] by kindness to him.

He set his state, or condition, right and profited him; he did what was a means of good to him; or he brought him to good; he did good to him; he strengthened him and helped him to get his living.

Dhu-r-Rummeh says: [Their shoots clad the branches: or surpassed the branches in length:]

shāhid

رَاشَ الغُصُونَ شَكِيرُهَا

This is said to mean كَسَا; or, according to AA, طَالَ; but the first meaning is the better known.

The verb is also doubly transitive.

1.2he became feathered—رَاشَ

Muḍāriʿ and maṣdar as above. This seems to have been the original meaning when the verb was used without an object.

1.2.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe collected property—ريش

he collected household goods, or furniture and utensils—أَثَاث

on this sense And hence the following.

1.2.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhe became wealthy, or abundant in wealth—تريّش

AO says that kings, when they gave a gift, put ostrich-feathers, or other feathers, on the humps of the camels that carried it, so that it might be known as the king's gift.

As: or with their coverings and the cloths beneath their saddles.

on this sense The Benoo-Kiláb say that the latter word means household goods of whatever kind, whether clothes, or stuffing for mattresses and the like, or outer garments; and sometimes it means clothes only.
