Full Definition

عَرِىَI مِنْ ثِيَابِهِ, Present.T يَعْرَى, Verbal.Noun عُرْىٌ (Mgh, Msb, K, and so in some copies of the S, accord. to other copies of which it is عُرِىٌّ, and also with kesr to the ع, as stated in the TA, [العُرٰى commencing the art. in the CK is a mistake for العُرْىُ,]) and عُرْيَةٌ, He was, or became, naked, nude, bare, or without clothing; or bare of his clothes: and تعرّى signifies the same: [or rather] the latter is quasipass. of عرّاهُ [and therefore is more correctly rendered he was made naked, &c.; or made bare of his clothes, or denuded thereof, or divested; or he made himself naked, &c.; or denuded himself of his clothes]. [And sometimes it means He was, or became, bare of clothing, or of his clothes, except one, or more, of his inner garments: and in like manner, تعرّى , he was made, or he made himself, bare of clothing, or of his clothes, except one, or more, of his inner garments.]
2 And [hence] one says also, عَرِىَ البَدَنُ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ [The body was, or became, bare of flesh, or lean].
3 And عَرِىَ مِنَ العَيْبِ, Present.T as above, He, or it, was, or became, free from fault, defect, or blemish: part. n. عَرٍ [if not a mistranscription for عَارٍ]. And عَرِىَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ He was, or became, free from the affair: and مَا يَعْرَى مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ He is not, or does not become, free from this affair: and hence, لَا يَعْرَى مِنَ المَوْتِ أَحَدٌ [No one will be exempt from death].

def.2 عَرَيْتُهُ I came to him; syn. غَشِيتُهُ; like عَرَوْتُهُ [q. v.].
