maṣdarعَوَرٌ إِعْوَارٌ عَوْرٌmuḍāriʿيَعْوَرُ يَعَارُ تَعْوَرُ

Core sense — he became blind of one eye; he put out his eye; he took it awaygenerated

1.1he became blind of one eye—عَارَ

Said of a man: he was, or became, blind of one eye. [Or he became one-eyed, wanting one eye: or one of his eyes sank in its socket: or one of his eyes dried up: see what next follows.]

and also اعورّ and اعوارّ.

his eye became blind, or was lost, or sank in its socket, or dried up—عَوِرَتْ عَيْنُهُ

.

his eye became blind, or was lost, or sank in its socket, or dried up—عَارَتْ

Muḍāriʿ تَعَارُ; and also تِعَارُ, اعورّت and اعوارّت.

Ibn-Aḥmar says: [Has his eye become blind or has it not become blind?]

shāhid
أَعَارَتْ عَيْنُهُ أَمْ لَمْ تَعَارَا

— meaning تَعَارَنْ, but, pausing, he makes it end with ا.

In عَوِرَتْ the و is kept unchanged because it is kept so in the original form, which is اِعْوَرَّتْ, on account of the sākin letter immediately preceding; then the additions, the ا and the teshdeed, are dropped, and so the verb becomes عَوِرَ. That اعورّت is the original form is shown by the form of the sister-verbs, اِسْوَدَّ and اِحْمَرَّ, and by the analogy of verbs that denote faults and the like: اِعْرَجَّ and اِعْمَىَّ as the original forms of عَرِجَ and عَمِىَ, though these may not have been heard. [See also صَيِدَ.]

1.1.1figurative · مجازthe well became filled up—عَارَتِ الرَّكِيَّةُ

Muḍāriʿ تَعُورُ [or تَعْوَرُ or تَعَارُ?].

1.2he made him blind of one eye—عَارَهُ

Muḍāriʿ يَعُورُهُ and أَعُوَرَهُ.

he made him blind of one eye—عوّرهُ

Maṣdar تَعْوِيرٌ.

he put out his eye, or made it sink in its socket—عَارَ عَيْنَهُ

Muḍāriʿ يَعُورُهَا, and, more commonly, أَعْوَرَهَا and عوّرها.

Some say that عُرْتُ عَيْنَهُ and أَعَارَهَا [sic] are from عَائِرٌ.

1.2.1figurative · مجازhe spoiled the well, so that the water dried up—عَارَ الرَّكِيَّةَ

Or he filled it up with earth, so that its springs became stopped up.

he spoiled the well, so that the water dried up—اعارها
he spoiled the well, so that the water dried up—عوّرها
he stopped up the sources of the waters—عوّر عُيُونَ الميَاهِ
he filled up the source of the well, so that the water dried up—عوّر عَيْنَ الرَّكِيَّةِ
1.3he, or it, took and went away with him, or it; or destroyed him, or it—عَارَهُ

IJ says that it seems they have scarcely ever used the muḍāriʿ of this verb because it occurs in a proverb about a thing that has passed away.

Muḍāriʿ يَعُورُهُ and يَعِيرُهُ; or the muḍāriʿ is not used, or, according to IJ, it is scarcely ever used; and some say يُعُورُهُ (Yaakoob), or يَعِيرُهُ (Aboo-Shibl).

I do not know what man went away with him, or it, or took him, or it—مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ الجَرَادِ عَارَهُ

It is said to be used only in negative phrases; but Lh mentions أَرَاكَ عُرْتَهُ and عِرْتَهُ: I consider you to have gone away with him, or it. [See also art. عير.]

The و is kept plain [not changed into ا] in اعتوروا because it means the same as تعاوروا.

[العَوْرَةُ المُغَلَّظَةُ means the front and back private parts; العَوْرَةُ المُخَفَّفَةُ, the other parts included in the term عورة: so in the law-books.]

Covering these parts, in prayer and at other times, is obligatory; but about covering them in a private place opinions differ.

The plural is عَوْرَاتٌ, because the second letter of the plural of فَعْلَةٌ as a noun carries a vowel only when it is not و or ى; but some read, in the Qur 24:31, عَوَرَاتِ النِّسَآءِ, which is of the dialect of Hudheyl.

And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1

A time in which it is proper for the عَوْرَة to appear; any one of three times: before the prayer of daybreak, at midday, and after nightfall.

These three times are mentioned in the Qur 24:57.

O ye who believe! let those whom your right hands possess, and the (children) among you who have not come of age ask your permission (before they come to your presence), on three occasions: before morning prayer; the while ye doff your clothes for the noonday heat; and after the late-night prayer: these are your three times of undress: outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about attending to each other: Thus does Allah make clear the Signs to you: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.2

Anything that a man veils, or conceals, out of disdainful pride, or out of shame; anything of which one is ashamed when it appears.

1.3

See also عَوَرٌ.

1.4figurative · مجاز — inferred

A woman, because one is ashamed at her when she appears, as one is ashamed at the private parts when they appear; or women.

1.5

Any place of concealment fit for veiling or covering.

1.6

A gap, an opening, or a breach, in the frontier of a hostile country and the like, or in war or battle, from which one fears slaughter.

1.7our houses are open and exposed—إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ

Sometimes it is used as an adjective qualifying an indefinite noun, and then it is used without change for a singular and a plural, and for a masculine and a feminine, like a maṣdar.

Said in the Qur 33:13; or, as explained by Bd and others, defenceless. Here the adjective is singular while the noun it qualifies is plural; but in this instance it may be a contraction of عَوِرَةٌ, and it has been read so: see عَوِرٌ.

1.8

Also clefts, or fissures, of mountains; and so the plural عَوْرَاتٌ.

A noun meaning عَوَرٌ.

It is mentioned in the S as a noun and, apparently from the context, as meaning عَوَرٌ, that is, a blindness of one eye; but Golius explains it as meaning the succession of a worse thing after a better.

After the mention of رَجُلٌ أَعْوَرُ and the phrase بَدَلٌ أَعْوَرُ and خَلَفٌ أَعْوَرُ in the S, it is added, وَالاِسْمُ العَوَرَةُ, or, according to one copy, العَوْرَةُ, and then follows وَقَدْ عَارَتِ العَيْنُ.

Sometimes used without teshdeed, in poetry.

Explained by مَا تَدَاوَلُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ [generally meaning a loan, and the act of lending]: the putting of someone in possession of the use of a thing without anything given in exchange.

Returning the thing so called is obligatory while the thing itself still exists; and if it has perished, one must answer for its value, according to Esh-Sháfi'ee, but not according to Aboo-Haneefeh.

Plural of the first عَوَارِىُّ, and of the second عَوَارٍ.

A poet says: [Our souls are only a loan, and the end of loans is their being given back]

shāhid
وَٱلْعَوَارِىُّ قَصَارٌ أَنْ تُرَدْإِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا عَارِيَّةٌ

; تُرَدْ being for تُرَدَّ.

عَارِيَّةٌ is of the measure فَعْلِيَّةٌ. Az says that it is a relative noun from عَارَةٌ, which is a noun from إِعَارَةٌ.

Lth says that what is so called is so named because it is a disgrace to the one who asks for it, and J says the like; and some say that it is from عَارَ الفَرَسُ, meaning “the horse went away from his master”. But both of these statements are wrong, since عاريّة belongs to art. عور — for the Arabs say هُمْ يَتَعَاوَرُونَ العَوَارِىَّ, meaning they lend loans to one another — and عَارٌ and عَارَ الفَرَسُ belong to art. عير. So the correct statement is that of Az.

Anything that causes disease in the eye, and wounds: so called because the eye becomes closed on account of it and the person cannot see, the eye being as though blinded; ophthalmia; the same as رَمَدٌ.

The same as رَمَصٌ.

Or both words mean a fluid matter that makes the eye smart, as though a mote or the like had fallen into it; and both mean a mote, or the like, in the eye.

Or عَائِرٌ means pimples, or small pustules, in the lower eyelid.

It is a noun, not a maṣdar, nor an ism fāʿil. The plural of عُوَّارٌ is عَوَاوِيرُ, and, by poetic licence, عَوَاوِرُ.

Or, according to As, an Arab in the Time of Ignorance whose camels amounted to a thousand used to put out an eye of one of them; and hence by عَائِرَةُ العَيْنِ they meant a thousand camels, one of which had an eye put out.

(TA.) عَائِرٌ also signifies An arrow of which the shooter is not known; (S, O, K;) and in like manner, a stone: (S, O:) pl. عَوَائِرُ : (TA:) عَوَائِرُ نَبْلٍ means arrows in a scattered state, of which one knows not whence they have come.
