مَرِضَ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. ـَ {يَمْرَضُ}, inf. n. مَرَضٌ and مَرْضٌ, (Mṣb, Ḳ,) which latter is a dial. form rarely used, (Mṣb,) He (a man, Ṣ, or an animal [of any kind], Msb) was, or became, [diseased, disordered, distempered, sick, or ill; i. e.] in the state termed مَرَضٌ (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ) denoting that change of the constitution or temperament which is described in the explanation of this term below; (Ḳ;) as alsoامرض↓, expl. by صَارَ ذَا مَرَضٍ. (Ḳ, TA; but not in the CK.)

[Hence, مَرِضَتِ العَيْنُ ‡ The eye became languid; or languishing; or weak: (see مَرِيضٌ:) or, as Golius says, on the authority of Ibn-Maạroof, was weak from much, and too much, looking.]

And مَرِضَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ ‡ The night became dark. (Th, O.)

[The verb probably has several other tropical significations agreeable with explanations of مَرَضٌ and مَرِيضٌ which will be found below.]

مرّضهُ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb,) inf. n. تَمْرِيضٌ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) He took care of him in his sickness; (Sb, Ṣ, Mgh;) and treated him medically, to remove his disease; the measure فَعَّلَ in this instance having a privative quality, though its quality is in most instances confirmative: (Sb:) or he took good care of him, namely a sick person: (Ḳ:) or he undertook, or managed, or superintended, the medical treatment of him. (Mṣb.)

مرّض فِى الأَمْرِ, (IDrd, A,) [and مَرَّضَهُ, (O, Ḳ voce ضَهْيَأَ,)] inf. n. as above, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) ‡ He fell short of doing what he ought to have done, or was remiss, in, or with respect to, the affair: (Ṣ, A:) or he did not exert himself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond what is usual, in it: (IDrd:) or he did it weakly, or feebly, (Ḳ,* TA,) not firmly or soundly: (TA:) as alsoمارض↓ فِيهِ. (TA.) [See also 5.] And مرّض فُلَانٌ فِى حَاجَتِى ‡ Such a one was deficient in activity in accomplishing my want. (TA.) And مرّض فِى كَلَامِهِ ‡ He was weak in his speech. (IDrd.)

[حَكَاهُ بِصِيغَةِ التَّمْرِيضِ, probably a post-classical phrase, signifies † He mentioned it, or related it, in a manner implying that it was doubtful, or was a mere assertion; as when the word قِيلَ is used.]

مارض فِى الأَمْرِ: see 2.

مَارَضْتُ رَأْيِى فِيكَ ‡ I deceived myself, or endeavoured to deceive myself, respecting thee. (A, TA.)

امرض: see 1.

He had a bane, or murrain, (Yaạḳoob, Ṣ,) or a disease, or distemper, (A, TA,) in his beasts, (Yaạḳoob, Ṣ, A,) or camels. (TA.)

امرضهُ He (God, Ṣ, Mṣb) rendered him مَرِيض [or diseased,, &c.]. (Sb, Ṣ,* Mṣb, Ḳ.) You say also, أَكَلَ مَا لَمْ يُوَافِقْهُ فَأَمْرَضَهُ (A, TA) [He ate what did not agree with him, and] it caused him to fall into المَرَض [or disease,, &c.]. (TA.)

[Hence,] إِمْرَاضُ الأجْفَانِ (Ṣ, voce إِسْجَادٌ) ‡ The lowering of the eyelids [in a languid, or languishing, manner: see مَرِيضٌ]. (TḲ, voce إِسْجَادٌ.)

امرضهُ also signifies He found him to be مَرِيض [or diseased,, &c.]. (Ḳ.)

Also امرض † He was near to being right in opinion, (Ṣ, L, Ḳ,*) though not altogether right. (L.) In the Ḳ, this signification is wrongly assigned to امرضهُ. (TA.) A poet says, (Ṣ,) namely El-Ukeyshir El-Asadee, praising ʼAbd-el-Melik Ibn-Marwán, (TA.)

* وَلٰكِنْ تَحْتَ ذَاكَ الشَّيْبِ حَزْمٌ *

* إِذَا مَا ظَنَّ أَمْرَضَ أَوْ أَصَابَا *

[But beneath that hoariness is good judgment: when he forms an opinion, he is nearly right, or he is right]. (Ṣ, TA.)

Also, امرضهُ فُلَانٌ ‡ Such a one was near to attaining the object of his [another's] want. (A, TA.)

تمرّض ‡ He was weak, or feeble, in his affair. (A,* Ḳ, TA.) [It seems to be indicated in the A that تمارض↓ also has this signification; like as مارض in nearly the same sense is syn. with مرّض, q. v.: or perhaps تمارض signifies ‡ he feigned, or made a false show of, weakness, or feebleness, in his affair: it is said, in the A, to be used tropically as well as properly.]

تمارض He feigned, or made a false show of, مَرَض [or disease,, &c.] in himself. (Ṣ, A.*)
