Full Definition
عَرِيقٌ
, applied to a man and to a horse, means [Rooted, i. e.] having a radical, or hereditary, share, (لَهُ عِرْق, S, O,) in generousness or nobleness [of origin, which, accord. to the S and O, and common usage, seems to be implied by the epithet when used absolutely], and also in meanness or ignobleness [thereof; or having a strain of, i. e. an inborn disposition to, generousness or nobleness, and also meanness or ignobleness]. And you say also فُلَانٌ مُعْرَقٌ فِى الكَرَمِ and فِى اللُّؤْمِ [Such a one is rooted, &c., in generousness or nobleness and in meanness or ignobleness]; and إِنَّهُ لَهُ فِى الكَرَمِ; and إِنَّهُ لَهُ فِى الكَرَمِ, [the part. n. being formed] on the supposition of the suppression of the augmentative letter [in its verb, which is أُعْرِقَ]: and in like manner, in a trad., a man of whom there is no living ancestor between him and Adam is said to be مُعْرَقٌ لَهُ فِى المَوْتِ i. e. Made to have a radical, or hereditary, share (عِرْقٌ) in death; meaning that he will inevitably die. [In the Ham p. 438, مُعْرِقٌ is expl. as syn. with عَرِيقٌ: but in the verse to which this explanation relates it is evidently employed in the sense of the act. part. n. of أَعْرَقَ as used in the phrase أَعْرَقَ فِيهِ أَعْمَامُهُ وَأَخْوَالُهُ, q. v.]
2 غُلَامٌ عَرِيقٌ means [A boy, or young man,] slender, or spare, and light of spirit.
