اعسر

, (S, K, &c.,) verbal noun إِعْسَارْ, (Kr, Mgh, &c.,) and, according to Kr, عُسْرٌ; but correctly, the former is a verbal noun, and عُسْرَةٌ is a simple subst.; [as is also عُسْرٌ;] (TA;) He was, or became, in a state of difficulty; possessing little power or wealth: (TA:) he became poor: (Mgh, Msb, K:) he lost his property. (S, O.) عَسَارٌ in the sense of إِعْسَارٌ is a pure mistake. (Mgh.)

You say, in praying for a woman in labour, أَيْسَرَتْ وَأَذْكَرَتْ (Lth, A) May she have an easy birth, and may she bring forth a male child: (Lth, O:) and in the contr. case you say, أَعْسَرَتْ وَانَثَتْ [May she have a difficult birth, and may she bring forth a female child]. (Lth, A, O, TA.)

And in like manner, She (a camel) had difficulty in bringing forth, her young one sticking fast at the time of the birth. (O, TA.)
