Full Definition

مرّضهُII , Verbal.Noun تَمْرِيضٌ, He took care of him in his sickness; and treated him medically, to remove his disease; the measure فَعَّلَ in this instance having a privative quality, though its quality is in most instances confirmative: or he took good care of him, namely a sick person: or he undertook, or managed, or superintended, the medical treatment of him.

def.2 مرّض فِى الأَمْرِ, [and مَرَّضَهُ, (O, K voce ضَهْيَأَ,)] Verbal.Noun as above, He fell short of doing what he ought to have done, or was remiss, in, or with respect to, the affair: or he did not exert himself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond what is usual, in it: or he did it weakly, or feebly, not firmly or soundly: as also فِيهِ. [See also 5.] And مرّض فُلَانٌ فِى حَاجَتِى Such a one was deficient in activity in accomplishing my want. And مرّض فِى كَلَامِهِ He was weak in his speech.
2 [حَكَاهُ بِصِيغَةِ التَّمْرِيضِ, probably a post-classical phrase, signifies He mentioned it, or related it, in a manner implying that it was doubtful, or was a mere assertion; as when the word قِيلَ is used.]
