Full Definition

تَجْرِبَةٌ is a subst. from جَرَّبَ: or it is an Verbal.Noun of that verb, and is one of the inf. ns. from which pls. are formed: its pl. is تَجَاربُ and تَجَارِيبُ, En-Nábighah says, إِلَى اليَوْمِ قَدْ جُرِّبْنَ كُلَّ التَّجَارِبِ [To this day, they have been tried with every kind of tryings]: and El-Aashà says, كَمْ جَرَّبُوهُ فَمَا زَادَتْ تَجَارِبُهُمْ أَبَا قُدَامَةَ إِلَّا المَجْدَ وَالقَنَعَا [How often have they tried him, and their tryings of Aboo-Kudámeh have not increased aught save his glory and contentment!]; تجارب being here a pluralized Verbal.Noun made to govern an objective complement; which is a strange fact. [But in this latter instance, we may consider ابا قدامة as a first objective complement of رادت, and شَيْئَا, understood before الّا, as a second objective complement of the same verb.]
