مُعَاشَرَةassociating

Example sentences

• فالعربي يقول من معاشرتهن ويلي

  So the Arab says from associating with them, 'Woe to me',

  مُعَاشَرَتِهِنَّ — their associating. A verbal noun governed by the 'from' before it, so it sits in the genitive, and it heads a possessive pairing with the attached 'them' on its end. That feminine-plural suffix points back to the women, so the word means the act of associating with them and names the cause of the woe.

  From: Preferring the Hereafter →
