(Ṣ.) [And sometimes it means He was, or became, bare of clothing, or of his clothes, except one, or more, of his inner garments: and in like manner,تعرّى↓, he was made, or he made himself, bare of clothing, or of his clothes, except one, or more, of his inner garments.]

And [hence] one says also, عَرِىَ البَدَنُ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ [The body was, or became, bare of flesh, or lean]. (TA.)

And عَرِىَ مِنَ العَيْبِ, aor. as above, † He, or it, was, or became, free from fault, defect, or blemish: part. n. عَرٍ↓ [if not a mistranscription for عَارٍ]. (Mṣb.) And عَرِىَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ † He was, or became, free from the affair: and مَا يَعْرَى مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ † He is not, or does not become, free from this affair: and hence, لَا يَعْرَى مِنَ المَوْتِ أَحَدٌ † [No one will be exempt from death]. (TA.)

عَرَيْتُهُ I came to him; syn. غَشِيتُهُ; like عَرَوْتُهُ [q. v.]. (Ḳ.)

see 4.

[Hence,] one says also, عرّاهُ مِنَ الأَمْرِ † He freed him from the affair. (TA.)

اعرى as intrans. He (a man, TA) journeyed in [a bare and wide tract, or] what is termed عَرَآء [q. v.]: and he remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, therein. (Ḳ, TA.) And He remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, in the lateral, or adjacent, part or tract (بِالنَّاحِيَةِ). (TA.) And أَعْرَيْتُ signifies also اِجْتَنَبْتُ [app. as meaning I was, or became, distant, remote, far off, or aloof; or I went, or removed, or retired, or withdrew myself, to a distance, or far away; though I do not know اجتنبت used otherwise than as trans.]; as alsoاِسْتَعْرَيْتُ↓, andاِعْتَرَيْتُ↓: mentioned by Ṣgh.

اعرورى الفَرَسَ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or الدَّابَّةَ, (Mgh, Mṣb,) He rode the horse, or the beast, without a saddle, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,* and Ḥam p. 42,) and having nothing beneath him; (Ḥam:) the verb being of the measure اِفْعَوْعَلَ, (Ṣ, TA,) a measure of which there is no other trans. v. except اِحْلَوْلَى.

[Expl. in the Ḳ and TA by the words مُقَلّص طَوِيل; to which is added in the TA القَوَائِم: the first of these words I find written, in copies of the Ḳ, only مُقَلَّص; but it is correctly مُقَلِّص.])

عَرَآءٌ [is app. a subst. signifying Nakedness, or bareness, or the like: for عَرَآءُ العِظَامِ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ occurs in the TA, in art. عجف, evidently as meaning Leanness of the bones.]

طَرِيقٌ اعرورى [thus I find the latter word, like the verb (12), and without any syll. signs, perhaps a mistranscription, and, if so, it may be correctly عَرَوْرًى, of the measure فَعَوْعَلٌ, like شَجَوْجًى, &c.,] A rugged road. (TA.)

المَعْرَى; and its pl., المَعَارِى: see العُرْيَة.
