1 دَارَ دار داري , aor. يَدُورُ, inf. n. دَوْرٌ and دَوَرَانٌ (S, M, A, Msb, K) and دُؤُورٌ (M) and مَدَارٌ; (Lth, T;) and ↓ استدار ; (M, A, Msb, K;) and ↓ ادار ; (M;) He, or it, went, moved, or turned, round; circled; revolved; returned to the place from which he, or it, began to move. (TA.) ― -b2- You say, دَارُوا حَوْلَهُ and ↓ استداروا They went round it: (A:) and دار حَوْلَ البَيْتِ and ↓ استدار He went round the house [or Kaabeh]. (Msb.) Z and others dislike the phrase داربِالبَيْتِ, [which seems to have been used in the same sense as دار حَوْلَهُ,] preferring the phrase طَافَ بِالبَيْتِ, because of the phrase دار بَالدُّوَارِ, signifying He went round about in the circuit called الدُّوَار, round the idol called by the same name. (TA.) [بِهِ ↓ استدار mostly signifies It encircled, or surrounded, or encompassed, it.] ― -b3- [You say also, دار بَيْنَهُمْ It (a thing, as, for instance, a wine-cup) went round, or circulated, among them. And] دار الفَلَكُ فِى مَدَارِهِ [The firmament, or celestial orb or sphere, revolved upon its axis]: (A:) دَوَرَانُ الفَلَكِ signifies the consecutive incessant motions of the several parts of the firmament. (Msb.) ― -b4- Hence the saying دَارَتِ المَسْأَلَةُ, [inf. n. دَوْرٌ,] The question formed a circle; one of its propositions depending for proof upon another following it, and perhaps this upon another, and so on, and the latter or last depending upon the admission of the first. (Msb.) [And in like manner, دار, inf. n. دَوْرٌ, signifies He reasoned in a circle.] ― -b5- It is said in a trad., ↓ إِِنَّ الزَّمَانَ قَدِ اسْتَدَارَ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ خَلْقِ اللّٰهِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَ الأَرْضَ [Verily time hath come round to the like of the state in which it was on the day of God's creating the heavens and the earth: this was said by Mohammad after he had forbidden the practice of intercalating a lunar month, by which the Arabs had long imperfectly adjusted their lunar year to the solar.] (TA.) And one says, دَارَتِ الأَيَّامُ [The days came round in their turns]. (S and Msb and K in art. دول.) And يَوْمٌ لَا يَدُورُ فِى شَهْرِهِ [A day of the week that does not come round again in its month: as the last Wednesday, &c.]. (Mujáhid, TA voce دُبَارٌ [q. v.].) [And دار is said of an event, as meaning It came about.

(M, K.) ― -b2- [And hence, (assumed tropical:) He circumvented him.] Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, “ حَتَّى أُتِيحَ لَهُ يَوْمًا بِمَرْقَبَةٍ
ذُو مِرَّةٍ بِدِوَارِ الصَّيْدُ وَجَّاسُ
” [Until there was prepared for him, one day, in a watching-place, an intelligent person, acquainted with the circumvention of game]: وجّاس is here made trans. by means of ب because it means the same as عَالِمٌ in the phrase عَالِمٌ بِهِ. (M.) [Or the meaning of the latter hemistich is, a person possessing skill in circumventing game, attentive to their motions and sounds.] ― -b3- داورهُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) He endeavoured to induce him to turn, or incline, or decline; or he endeavoured to turn him by deceit, or guile; عَنِ الأَمْرِ from the thing; and عَلَيْهِ to it; syn. لَاوَصَهُ.

وَنَجَّدَنِى مُدَاوَرَةُ الشُّؤُونِ
” [Fifty years of age, my manly vigour full, and vigorous application to the management of affairs has tried and strengthened me]. (S.)

And بِهِ ↓ دِيرَ , and أُدِيرَ بِهِ, (S, A, K,) and عَلَيْهِ ↓ دِيرَ (K,) [the first and second lit. signifying He was made to turn round; by which, as by the third also, is meant] he became affected by a vertigo, or giddiness in the head.

(M, K.) ― -b3- إِِدَارَةٌ [the inf. n.] also signifies The giving and taking, from hand to hand, without delay: and agreeably with this explanation is rendered the phrase in the Kur [ii. 282], لِجَارَةٌ حَاضِرَةٌ تُدِيرُونَهَا بَيْنَكُمْ Ready merchandise, which ye give and take among yourselves, from hand to hand, without delay; i. e., not on credit].

And in the same sense دار is used in a trad. in which it is said that there remained no دار among which (فِيهَا) a mosque had not been built. (TA.) -A2- Mtr states that it is said to signify also A year; syn. حَوْلٌ; and if this be correct, which he does no hold to be the case, it is from الدَّوَرَانُ, like as حَوْلٌ is from الحَوَلَانُ: or, as some say, i. q. دَهْرٌ [as meaning a long time, or the like]. (Har p. 350.) -A3- And الدَّارُ is the name of A certain idol.

(A.) دَيْرٌ دير , originally with و; (T, S;) or originally thus, with ى, (M, [and so accord. to the place in which it is mentioned in the A and Msb and K,]) as appears from the occurrence of the ى in its pl. and in the derivative دَيَّارٌ, for if the ى were in this case interchangeable with و it would occur in other derivatives; (M;) [or this is not a valid reason, for دَيَّارٌ is held by J to be originally دَيْوَارٌ, i. e. of the measure فَيْعَالٌ; and ISd himself seems in one place to express the same opinion; in like manner as دَيُّورٌ is held by the latter to be originally دَيْوُورٌ; and تَدَيَّرَ is evidently altered from تَدَوَّرَ;] A convent, or monastery, (خان,) of Christians: (M, K:) and also the صَوْمَعَة [i. e. cloister, or cell,] of a monk: (A:) the pl. is أَدْيَارٌ (S, M, K) and دُيُورَةٌ.

إِِلَّا مُدَارَاتُ الغُرُوبِ الجُوفِ
” [Nothing will draw water in a well of which most of the water has been exhausted, to which many press to draw, except the kind of buckets made of a round piece of skin, of ample capacity]: i. e. one cannot draw water from a small quantity but with wide and shallow buckets: but some say that مدارات should be مداراة, from المُدَارَاةُ فِى الأُمُورِ; holding it to be for بِمُدَارَاةِ الدِّلَآءِ; and reading لَا يُسْتَقَى.
