Full Definition

مَرَامٌ i. q. مَطْلَبْ [accord. to the PS A place of seeking or searching: but it should be observed that مَطْلَبٌ is an Verbal.Noun, and also a n. of place and of time: also that مَرَامٌ is expressly said in the Msb and TA to be an Verbal.Noun of رَامَ, though not in the S nor in the M: and that it is mentioned in the K in the beginning of this art. as syn. with رَوْمٌ in the sense of طَلَبٌ, and at the end of the art. as signifying the same as مَطْلَبٌ]. One says, هُوَ ثَبْتُ المَقَامِ بَعِيدُ المَرَامِ [which may mean He is firm, or steady, in respect of the place of standing; far-aiming in respect of the place of seeking: or, agreeably with an explanation voce ثَبْتٌ, he is one who does not quit his station, or abode, without necessity, though far-aiming &c.: but it is obvious that both المقام and المرام may here be inf. ns.].
