تَأْدِيبِdiscipline

Example sentences

• وَإِنَّمَا يَنْتَفِعُ بِالرِّياضَةِ وَالتَّأْدِيبِ مَنْ أَصْلُ جَوْهَرِهِ سَلِيمٌ،

  And only benefits by exercise and discipline who his essential nature is sound,

  وَالتَّأْدِيبِ — and discipline. The leading wa- adds this noun as a second item alongside the previous one, both being means of the same benefiting. Because it is coordinated onto a noun governed by bi-, it inherits the same (genitive) ending and 'by way of' sense without repeating the preposition. So it shares the instrumental role of its partner.
