Full Definition

امرضIV : see 1.
2 He had a bane, or murrain, or a disease, or distemper, in his beasts, or camels.

def.2 امرضهُ He rendered him مَرِيض [or diseased, &c.]. You say also, أَكَلَ مَا لَمْ يُوَافِقْهُ فَأَمْرَضَهُ [He ate what did not agree with him, and] it caused him to fall into المَرَض [or disease, &c.].
2 [Hence,] إِمْرَاضُ الأجْفَانِ (S, voce إِسْجَادٌ) The lowering of the eyelids [in a languid, or languishing, manner: see مَرِيضٌ]. (TK, voce إِسْجَادٌ.)
3 امرضهُ also signifies He found him to be مَرِيض [or diseased, &c.].

def.3 Also امرض He was near to being right in opinion, though not altogether right. In the K, this signification is wrongly assigned to امرضهُ. A poet says, namely El-Ukeyshir El-Asadee, praising 'Abd-el-Melik Ibn-Marwán, وَلٰكِنْ تَحْتَ ذَاكَ الشَّيْبِ حَزْمٌ إِذَا مَا ظَنَّ أَمْرَضَ أَوْ أَصَابَا [But beneath that hoariness is good judgment: when he forms an opinion, he is nearly right, or he is right].
2 Also, امرضهُ فُلَانٌ Such a one was near to attaining the object of his [another's] want.
