سَرَاحٌ

a subst. from تَسْرِيحُ المَرْأَةِ; (S, Msb, K;) [i. e., a subst.] signifying The dismissal of a wife by divorcement: (Bd in xxxiii. 28 [where it is used as a quasi-verbal noun, as it is also in verse 48 of the same chap.]:) like طَلَاقٌ and فِرَاقٌ, it signifies divorcement explicitly. (L.)

[And Dismissal in a general sense. Hence,] it is said in a prov., السَّرَاحُ مِنَ النَّجَاحِ (tropical:) [i. e. Dismissal is a part of the accomplishment of one's want]; (S, A, L;) meaning, when thou canst not accomplish a man's want, make him to despair; for thy doing so will be in his estimation an act that will stand him in lieu of thy helping him to accomplish it: (S, L: [in some copies of the former, for فَأَيْيءِسْهُ, we find فَايَسْتَهُ:]) or it is applied to a man who does not desire to accomplish the want [of another]; and means, it behooves thee to make him to despair if thou accomplish not his want. (Meyd. [See a similar prov. voce شَرَاحٌ.])

Also Haste, ex- pedition, or promptness. (TA.)

And (assumed tropical:) Ease: so in the saying, اِفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ فِى سَرَاحٍ وَرَوَاحٍ (TA) i. e. (tropical:) Do thou that in a state of ease (S and A and K in article روح) and rest. (A in that article)

-A2- سَرَاحِ [indecl.] like قَطَامِ, [apparently as meaning The quick, or quick and easy in pace, like السُّرُحُ,] the name of a certain horse. (K.)
