Core sense — taking fright and running away at random; a widely current versegenerated
1taking fright, or shying, and fleeing, or running away at random—شَرُودٌ
Applied, like the headword, to a camel, and to a horse or the like: refractory, and going away at random, or running away, or breaking loose, and going here and there out of liveliness; or that takes fright, or shies. It means one that habitually takes fright, and is applied to a male animal and to a female.
The feminine of the headword form is with ة; its plurals are شُرَّدٌ and شَرَدٌ [or rather this last is an ism jamʿ], as خَدَمٌ is of خَادِمٌ [and the plural of شَارِدَةٌ is شُرَّدٌ and شَوَارِدُ], and the plural of شَرُودٌ is شُرُدٌ, as زُبُرٌ is of زَبُورٌ.
a horse, or mare, refractory towards the rider—فَرَسٌ شَرُودٌ
a she-camel that runs away, or breaks loose and goes here and there out of liveliness—نَاقَةٌ شَرُودٌ
