Full Definition

رَعْرَعَهُ
R. Q. 1
He caused him [a child, or boy, as is implied in the S,] to grow.
2 رَعْرَعَ دَابَّتَهُ He rode his beast to train it when it was in the first stage of training and as yet refractory. In IN the L we find إِذَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَيِّضًا, [meaning when it was not trained, رَيِّضًا being here used in the sense of مَرُوضَةً,] in the place of إِذَا كَانَتْ رَيِّضًا, which is the reading in the O and TS and K.
3 [See also رَعْرَعَةٌ, below.]
