أَبْرَحُ

Root: برح

Full Definition

أَبْرَحُ is formed [from بَرَحَ for بَرَّحَ] by the rejection of the added letter: [for a word of this kind is regularly formed only from an unaugmented triliteral-radical verb:] or it is like أَحْنَكُ, having no proper verb. You say, هٰذَا أَبْرَحُ عَلَىَّ مِنْ ذَاكَ This is more difficult, distressing, or afflicting, to me than that. And هٰذَآ الأَمْرُ أَبْرَحُ مِنْ هٰذَا This affair, event, or case, is more difficult, or distressing, than this. And قَتَلُوهُمْ أَبْرَحَ قَتْلٍ [They slew them with a most severe slaughter].
