Nounعَرِمٌ2 senses

Core sense — ill-natured and perverse; a dam raised across a valley or torrent-bedgenerated

1

See عَارِمٌ, in two places.

2

Also a dam; synonymous with مُسَنَّاةٌ [or rather dams, in keeping with what follows]: a plural [or ism jamʿ] having no singular [or ism waḥda].

Or its singular [or ism waḥda] is عَرِمَةٌ, which, like عَرَمَةٌ, means a dam raised across a valley or torrent-bed.

Or عَرِمٌ means dams of the kind called أَحْبَاس [plural of حِبْسٌ] built in valleys or torrent-beds, in their middle parts. In each of these senses it is said to be used in the Kur 34:15.

Or there it means a torrent whose rush cannot be withstood; and a violent rain that cannot be endured: so, according to some, in the Kur.

And the male of the kind of rat called جُرَذ, which is the خُلْد; Az says that this is what is meant there according to some. And some say that in that instance it is the name of a certain valley in El-Yemen.

Qur’ān 34:15 approximate — somewhere between 34:10 and 34:19 Lane cites “Kur xxxiv. 15”
Qur’ān 34:16 located by this root inside the range Lane’s citation allows
فَأَعْرَضُوا۟ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ ٱلْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَـٰهُم بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَىْ أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَىْءٍ مِّن سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ

But they turned away (from Allah), and We sent against them the Flood (released) from the dams, and We converted their two garden (rows) into "gardens" producing bitter fruit, and tamarisks, and some few (stunted) Lote-trees.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)
