Full Definition
تورّطV
He fell into what is termed
وَرْطَة [properly and also tropically, or in its primary sense, and also in any of its subordinate senses]. You say, تورّطتِ الغَنَمُ وَغَيْرُهَا
The sheep, or goats, &c., fell into mud from which they could not extricate themselves; or into a depressed piece of ground in which was no way directing to escape: and hence the verb is used in relation to any straitness or difficulty. Thus you say, تورّط فُلَانٌ فِى الأَمْرِ
