Root: ارض
Full Definition
2 You say أَرْضٌ أَرِيضَةٌ and أَرِضَةٌ Land that is thriving, or productive; pleasing to the eye; and disposed by nature to yield good produce: or fruitful; increasing in plants or herbage: or level, or soft: or that collects moisture, and becomes luxuriant with herbage; that is soft to tread upon, pleasant to sit upon, productive, and good in its herbage or vegetation: it also signifies a wide land; syn. عَرِيضَةٌ: and إِرَاضٌٍ [as pl. of أَرِيضٌ] is syn. with عِرَاضٌ and وِسَاع; as though the ء were a substitute for the ع.
3 أَرِيضٌ is also an imitative sequent to عَرِيضٌ; as in the phrase أَرِيضٌ شَىْءٌ عَرِيضٌ [A very wide thing]: or it signifies fat, as an epithet: some use it in this sense without عرِيض, applied to a kid. And you say, اِمْرَأَةٌ عَرِيضَةٌ أَرِيضَةٌ [A very wide, or wide and fat, woman; or, as seems to be indicated in the TA in art. عرَض, prolific and perfect]; and in like manner, مُؤْرِضَةٌ . You say also رَجُلٌ أَرِيضٌ, and أَرُوضٌ لِلْخَيْرِ, A man lowly, or submissive; naturally disposed to good, or to do good. And نَفْسٌ وَاسِعٌ أَرِيضٌ: see رَابِطٌ.
