زَرَى عَلَيْهِ , (S, Msb, K,) or زَرَى عَلَيْهِ فِعْلَهُ , (Mgh, TA,) aor. يَزْرِى , (Msb, TA,) inf. n. زِرَايَةٌ , (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA,) with kesr, (Msb, TA,) but by some written with fet-h, (TA, [ زَرايَة , thus in the CK and in one of my copies of the S and in my MS. copy of the K,]) and زَرْىٌ (Msb, K) and زَرْيَةٌ (Msb [perhaps a mistranscription for what next follows]) and مَزْرِيَةٌ and مَزْرَاةٌ and زُرْيَانٌ , with damm, (K,) but accord. to the copies of the T and M زَرَيَانٌ ; (TA;) and عليه ↓ تزرّى , (S, Msb, K,) and عليه ↓ ازرى , but this is of rare occurrence, (K,) and ↓ اِزْدَرَاهُ ; (Msb;) He blamed, found fault with, or reproved, (Lth, AZ, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) him, (S, Msb, K,) or his deed; (Mgh, TA;) or was angry with him, with the anger that proceeds from a friend: (S, TA:) and reproached him, upbraided him, or blamed him angrily or severely: (Lth, TA:) and he mocked, scoffed, or laughed, at him; derided him; or ridiculed him. (Msb.) ― -b2- See also 4, last sentence but one.
ازرى بِهِ , inf. n. اـِزْرَا=ءٌ , He held it (i. e. a thing, S, Msb, or a case, or an affair, K) in little, or light, or mean, estimation, or in contempt; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اِزْدَرَاهُ . (Mgh.) And i. q. قَصَّرَ بِهِ [app. here meaning (in like manner as it is rendered below in this paragraph) He fell short of that estimation which was required by him, or due to him]; and ↓ اِزْدَرَاهُ , i. e. he contemned, or despised, him; [and so, app., ↓ استزراهُ ; (see مُزْدَرٍ ;)] or made him to be contemned or despised; syn. حَقَرَهُ or حَقَّرَهُ . (S, accord. to different copies. [But whether this last explanation be here meant to relate to ازرى به and ازدراه or to the latter alone, is not clear.]) He lowered his condition, or estimation. (Ham p. 117.) He brought against him the imputation of a fault, or vice, or the like, ('Eyn, K, TA,) or a thing, or an affair, or an action, whereby he desired to involve him in confusion. (ISd, K, TA.) ازرى بِعِلْمِهِ and بِهِ ↓ زَرَى , mentioned, but not explained, by Lh, are thought by ISd to signify قَصَّرَ بِهِ [app. meaning He fell short of that estimation which was required by, or due to, his knowledge].

The roots that most often share a verse with ز ر ي. Window: the verse. Measure: the number of distinct verses in which both roots occur (of the 1 this root appears in). Ubiquitous roots are excluded so genuinely connected concepts surface — see the method.
