Form: 4

Full Definition

أَجْدَرَهُIV [and لِلْخَيْرِ] How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, or proper, is he for what is good! or how worthy is he of what is good! And مَا أَجْدَرَهُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ, and أَجْدِرْ بِهِ, How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet, &c., is he for doing that! or how worthy is he to do that! The usage of جَدُرَ, signifying “ he was, or became, adapted, &c., ” refutes the assertion of certain grammarians that these two forms of the verb deviate from general rule.
