ع ر ض Form 2

The general meaning

In Form 2, the root ع ر ض takes on an intensive or causative meaning. Instead of simply showing something, it conveys the idea of deliberately placing someone or something in the path of an experience or a danger, of exposing them to it on purpose and with force.

As a result, Form 2 words built from ع ر ض commonly relate to exposing someone to risk, hardship, or experience, and in photography, to exposure.
