لَاغَرْوَ

Root: غرو

Full Definition

لَاغَرْوَ signifies لَا عَجَبَ [meaning There is no case of wonder], the enunciative of لَا being suppressed, as though the saying were لَاغَرْوَ فِى الدُّنْيَا [there is no case of wonder in the present world] or مَوْجُودٌ [existing]; as also لَا غَرْوَى : or لَيْسَ بِعَجَبٍ [meaning it is not a case of wonder]. One says, لَا غَرْوَ مِنْ كَذَا i. e. لَا عَجَبَ [meaning There is no case of wonder arising from such a thing, or, using غرو as an Verbal.Noun, there is no wondering at such a thing]. And the saying وَلَا غَرْوَ أَنْ يَحْذُو الفَتَى حَذْوَ وَالِدِهْ means And it is not a case of wonder (لَيْسَ بِعَجَبٍ), i. e. there is no wondering (لَا عَجَبَ), that the [young] man should follow the example of his father, doing the like of his deed.
