From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root صير. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

صَارَ كَذَا , (T, S, Msb,) aor. يَصِيرُ , (S,) inf. n. صَيْرُورَةٌ (S, Msb) and صَيْرٌ , (S,) He, or it, attained to the state, or condition, of such a thing; (T;) became such a thing; (T, Msb;) in which sense the verb is like كَانَ [in meaning, when the latter is non-attributive, and in having its subject in the nom. case and its predicate in the accus.]. (T.) You say, صَارَ زَيْدٌ رَجُلًا Zeyd became a man; or attained to the state, or condition, of a man. (TA.) And صَارَ زَيْدٌ غَنِيًّا Zeyd became rich, not having been so. (Msb.) And صَارَ العَصِيرُ خَمْرًا The expressed juice became wine. (Msb.) [And صَارَ لَا شَىْءَ عِنْدَهُ He became in a state, or condition, in which there was not anything in his possession. And صَارَ يَفْعَلُ كَذَا He became in the state, or condition, of doing such a thing; i. e. he became occupied, or engaged, in doing such a thing; or he set about, began, commenced, took to, or betook himself to, doing such a thing; like جَعَلَ . And صَارَ لَا يَفْعَلُ شَيْيءًا He became in the state, or condition, of not doing anything; or he became unoccupied in doing anything. And صَارَ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ He became in the state of not speaking; he became speechless. And صَارَ يَتَفَكَّرُ فِى كَذَا He became in a state of reflection upon such a thing; he began to reflect upon such a thing.] ― -b2- One says also, صَارَ الأَمْرُ اـِلَى كَذَا , (M, A, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (TA,) inf. n. مَصِيرٌ , (S, M, A, Msb, K,) which is anomalous, being regularly مَصَارٌ , like مَعَاشٌ , (S,) and صَيْرٌ and صَيْرُورَةٌ , (M, A, K,) i. e. رَجَعَ اـِلَيْهِ : (Msb:) [but this is a loose explanation; the meaning being, The thing, or affair, or case, came eventually (see صِيرٌ ) to such a state, or condition:] the difference between مَصِيرٌ and مَرْجِعٌ is, that the former word necessarily implies a difference [of the latter state or condition] from the former state or condition; but the latter word does not. (Bd in iii. 156.) [In this case, the ulterior state or condition is likened to a place: for] ― -b3- صَارَ also signifies He, or it, attained in respect of place: so in the saying, صَارَ زَيْدٌ اـِلَى عَمْرٍو [Zeyd came, or went, or pursued a course that brought him, to 'Amr]. (TA.) صِرْتُ اـِلَى فُلَانٍ [I came, &c., to such a one] is similar to the phrase in the Kur [iii. 27] وَاـِلَى ا@للّٰهِ ا@لْمَصِيرُ [And to God, as the ultimate object, is the transition, or course, of every human being]. (S.) [Hence, أًلَا اـِلَى ا@للّٰهِ تَصِيرُ ا@لْأُمُورُ , in the Kur xlii. last verse, which Bd explains by adding the words بِا@رْتِفَاعِ الوَسَايءِطِ وَالتَّعَلُّقَاتِ ; the meaning being, Verily to God are things, or events, referrible, mediately and dependently: in the Expos. of the Jel expl. as meaning تَرْجِعُ .] ― -b4- [And in like manner one says, صَارَ لَهُ كَذَا Such a thing came to, betided, or befell, him, or it: and hence, he, or it, came to have, or became possessed of, such a thing.] ― -b5- And صَارَ فِى أَرْضِ فَلَاةٍ [He became, or came to be, meaning he found himself, in a desert, or waterless, land]; i. q. وَقَعَ فِيهَا . (Msb in art. وقع .) And صَارَ فِى الرَّبِيعِ [He entered, lit. became in, the season called ربيع ]; i. q. أَرْبَعَ [which is expl. in the S as signifying دَخَلَ فِى الرَّبِيعِ ]. (K in art. ربع .) -A2- صَيْرٌ signifies also The returning of seekers after herbage to the watering-places. (O, K.) And one says, صَارَ الرَّجُلُ , aor. يَصِيرُ , [inf. n. صَيْرٌ ,] The man stayed, or abode, at the water. (TA.) And صَارَ النَّاسُ المَا=ءَ The people stayed, or abode, at the water. (M, K, TA.) -A3- صَارَهُ , (S,) first pers. صِرْتُهُ , (M,) aor. as above, (S,) inf. n. صَيْرٌ , (K,) a dial. var. of صَارَهُ having for its aor. يَصُورُهُ , [q. v.,] (S,) He cut it; (S, M, K;) and clave it, or split it. (M.) ― -b2- And in like manner, [i. e. as a dial. var. of صَارَهُ having for its aor. يَصُورُهُ ,] He made it to incline, or lean. (S.) You say, صَارَ وَجْهَهُ , aor. يَصِيرُ , (M,) as also يَصُورُ , (M and K in art. صور ,) He turned his face towards a person or thing. (M.) And صِرْتُ عُنُقَهُ I twisted his neck. (M.) [Respecting the phrase فَصِرْهُنَّ اـِلَيْكَ in the Kur ii. 262, accord. to one reading, see 1 in art. صور .] ― -b3- صَارَهُ , aor. يَصِيرُ , inf. n. صَيْرٌ , signifies also حَبَسَهُ [He confined, restricted, &c., him, or it]. (Msb.)

صيّرهُ كَذَا He made him, or it, to be in such a state, or condition; or he made him, or it, to be such a thing; [as also ↓ أَصَارَهُ ;] syn. جَعَلَهُ . (S.) You say, صَيَّرَنِى لَهُ عَبْدًا and ↓ أًصَارَنِى [He made me to be to him a slave]. (A.) ― -b2- [And صَيَّرَهُ اـِلَى كَذَا and ↓ أَصَارَهُ He, or it, made, or caused, him, or it, to come, or to pursue a course that led, to such a state, or condition; brought, or reduced, him, or it, thereto.] 'Omeyleh El-Fezáree said to his paternal uncle Ibn-'Ankà, ↓ مَا الَّذِى أَصَارَكَ اـِلَى مَا أَرَى يَا عَمِّ [What hath made thee to come, or brought thee, or reduced thee, to the state, or condition, that I see, O my paternal uncle?]. (M.) [In this case, the ulterior state or condition is likened to a place: for] you say, صَيَّرَهُ اـِلَيْهِ and ↓ أَصَارَهُ [meaning He, or it, made him to come, or brought him, to him, or it; i. e., to a person, or place, or to a state, or condition:] (M, K:) and صَيَّرَتْنِى اـِلَيْهِ الحَاجَةُ and ↓ أَصَارَتْنِى [Want, or need, or necessity, made me to come, or brought me, to him, or it]. (A.) And [hence,] صَيَّرَ اـِلَيْهِ الأَمْرَ He committed to him the thing, or affair; syn. فَوَّضَهُ اليه . (M in art. فوض .) [And صَيَّرَ لَهُ كَذَا He made such a thing to come to, betide, or befall, him, or it: and consequently, he made him, or it, to have, or become possessed of, such a thing.] ― -b3- تَصْيِيرٌ is also by word, or covenant, as well as by deed. (Bd in ii. 20.) [You say, صَيَّرَهُ كَذَا meaning He asserted, or pronounced, him, or it, to be in such a state, or condition; or to be such a thing: in which case, also, it is syn. with جَعَلَهُ , whereby it is expl. in the S. And صَيَّرَ لَهُ كَذَا He asserted, or pronounced, such a thing to belong to him, or it; asserted, or pronounced, him, or it, to have such a thing; attributed to him, or it, such a thing: and appointed or assigned, to him, or it, such a thing.]
