How it is used
إِحْرَاقٌ is the maṣdar of the causative Form IV verb أَحْرَقَ ('to burn something/someone with fire'), as in أَحْرَقَتْهُ النَّارُ, 'the fire burned him.' Beyond literal burning, the same verb extends figuratively to inflicting pain, distress, or sharp verbal reproach, and this noun carries that same range.
