جُهْرٌ : [and a quality pleasing to behold: for] Abu-n-Nejm says,
[And I regard fairness in women as a quality pleasing to behold]: and جُهْرٌ signifies the form, or appearance, or the like, and goodliness of aspect, of a man: or what pleases by its beauty, of the form or appearance or the like, of a man, and and goodliness of aspect: [and simply aspect, or outward appearance.] You say, بَنُونَ ذَوُو جَهَارةٍ Sons goodly in stature and in aspect: or in stature and in cheeks: but the former is the more agreeable with authority. And مَا أَحْسَنَ فُلَانٍ How goodly is the form, or appearance, or the like, and the beauty of aspect, of such a one! [or simply, the aspect; for] you say also, مَا أَسْوَأَ [How evil is his aspect!]. And رَجُلٌ حَسَنُ الجَهَارَةِ and A man goodly in aspect. And رَأَيْتُ فَعَرَفْتُ سِرَّهُ [I saw his aspect, and so knew his mind].وَأَرَى البَيَاضَ عَلَى النِّسَآءِ جَهَارَةً
