ع ر ض Form 7

The general meaning

In Form 7, the root ع ر ض takes on a passive or spontaneous meaning. It conveys the idea of something being shown or presented as a natural result, without a deliberate external agent forcing the display. The Form 7 prefix اِنـ implies that the action happens to the subject spontaneously.

Note: This form of the root is rare in usage. The passive of Form 1 (عُرِضَ / يُعْرَضُ) is normally used to express this meaning instead.
