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