How it is used
مَلَّ most often describes losing patience with or turning away in disgust from a person or thing, sometimes phrased as مَلِلْتُ عَنْهُ. The same root letters also cover a separate, concrete sense — burying food in hot embers to cook it — which gives rise to nouns like مَلَّةٌ (baking ashes) rather than to the 'weariness' family.
