حَرِضَ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. ـَ {يَحْرَضُ}, (Mṣb, Ḳ,) inf. n. حَرَضٌ, (Mṣb,) His stomach became in a corrupt, or disordered, state: (Ḳ:) or he (a man) became in a corrupt, or disordered, state, and sick, or diseased, so as to defile himself in his clothes: [see حَرَضٌ, below:] or he became emaciated (lit. dissolved) by grief, or by excessive love: (Ṣ:) or he became at the point of death: (Mṣb:) and he suffered protracted disquietude of mind, and disease; as also حَرُضَ, aor. ـُ {يَحْرُضُ}: (Ḳ:) and حَرَضَ, aor. ـُ {يَحْرُضُ} and ـِ {يَحْرِضُ}, inf. n. حُرُوضٌ (Ḳ) and حَرْضٌ, (TA,) he became heavily oppressed by disease; or constantly affected thereby so as to be at the point of death: (Ḳ:) or this last form of the verb signifies he died, or perished. (TA.)

[Hence, app.,] حَرُضَ, and حَرَضَ, aor. ـُ {يَحْرُضُ}, inf. n. حُرُوضٌ, as in the L; not حَرِضَ, as in the Ḳ † He was, or became, low, base, mean, or sordid; unable to rise from, or quit, his place; a signification given in the Ḳ to حَرِضَ: or low, base, mean, or sordid; possessing no good: (TA:) [but of the correctness of one of the two forms here mentioned on the authority of the L, the author of the TA expresses a bout: app. with respect to the latter of them; for it is said,] حَرُضَ, inf. n. حَرَاضَةٌ and حُرُوضَةٌ and حُرُوضٌ, also signifies he (a man, TA) was, or became, low, base, mean, or sordid, and bad, corrupt, or vicious, and neglected, or forsaken; (Ḳ, TA;) as also حَرِضَ. (Ḳ: but only the former, حَرُضَ, is given in this sense in the TA.)

Also, inf. n. تَحْرِيضٌ, He rendered him free from, or rid him of, حَرَض [q. v.]; like as قَذَّيْتُهُ signifies “I rid him of what is termed قَذًى.” (TA.) [Thus it bears two contr. significations.]

And, [hence, perhaps,] (ISd, A, &c.,) inf. n. as above, (Ṣ, ISd, A, &c.,) He excited, incited, urged, or instigated, him, (Zj, Ṣ, ISd, Ḳ,) and roused him to ardour, (Ṣ,) عَلَى القِتَالِ to fight, (Zj, Ṣ,) or عَلَى الشَّىْءِ to do the thing, (A,* Mṣb,) in order that he might be known to be such as is termed حَارِض if he held back from it: (Zj:) so in the Ḳur [iv. 86 and] viii. 66: (Zj:) or he excited, incited, urged, or instigated, him to apply himself constantly, or perseveringly, to fight: (TA:) [see 3:] andأَحْرَضَهُ↓ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ, inf. n. إِحْرَاضٌ, signifies the same as حرّضهُ.

احرضهُ It (disease, A, TA) pressed heavily upon him; or clave to him constantly: it caused him to be at the point of death; as alsoحَرَضَهُ↓: it corrupted, or disordered, his body, so that he became on the brink of death. (TA: [in which this last signification is said to be tropical: but accord. to the A, it is evidently not so.]) It (food) caused him to be sick, or diseased. (A.) It (love, AO, Ṣ) corrupted, or disordered, him. (AO, Ṣ, Ḳ.)

‡ He corrupted, vitiated, marred, or destroyed, it; namely, a thing; as alsoحرّضهُ↓: (A:) and he annulled it; rendered it null, or void. (TA.)

(TA.

(Ṣgh.)

Also حُرْضٌ, [and app. حُرُضٌ also,] i. q. جِصٌّ [or Gypsum]. (TA.)

حَرَضٌ Corruptness in the body, and in the intellect, (Ibn-ʼArafeh, A, Ḳ,) and † in one's course of conduct, or tenets. (Ibn-ʼArafeh, Ḳ.) [See 1.]

(Fr, Ṣ, Ḳ) and masc. (Fr) and fem.; (Fr, Ḳ;) being originally an inf. n.: (Fr, Mṣb:) or, like every inf. n. used as an epithet, it is for ذُو followed by the inf. n., and therefore has no dual nor pl. form: (Zj:) but some of the Arabs use حَارِضٌ↓ as an epithet applied to a male, andحَارِضَةٌ↓ as applied to a female; and these have duals and pls.: (Fr:) and sometimes حَرَضٌ has pls.; namely أَحْرَاضٌ; (Ḳ;) which is also pl. of حَرِضٌ and of حَارِضٌ; or, accord. to the L, it is allowable as a pl. of حَرِضٌ, in the place of the more common pl. حَرِضُونَ; (TA;) andحُرْضَانِ↓; (Ḳ;) which is more approved; (TA;) and حَرِضَةٌ.
