[of pauc.] أَسِرَّةٌ and [of mult.] سُرُرٌ, and some, for the latter, say سُرَرٌ, as more easy of pronunciation, and make the same change in other similar pls., and he who says صِيْدٌ [for صُيُدٌ, pl. of صَيُودٌ,] says سُرٌّ for سُرُرٌ. It is said to be derived from سُرُورٌ, because it generally belongs to persons of ease and affluence and of authority, and to kings.
