سَرْمَدٌ [signifies, or implies,]
Continuance, or
incessant continuance, (
دَوَام,
Kh, M, L, and
اِتِّصَال, Kh, L,) of time, (Kh, M, L,) either of
night or of day. (Kh, L.) [I have said “ or implies ”
because I have not found it used otherwise than as an
epithet, in the following senses.] ― -b2-

syn.
دَائِمٌ; (Zj, S, L, K;) or

لَا
يَنْقَطِعُ. (Nh, L.) It is applied in this sense to
night (Nh, L) [and also to day: to each in the Kur
xxviii. 71 and 72]: and to night as meaning
Long.
(L, K.) ― -b3- Accord. to El-Fakhr Er-Rázee, it is
derived from
السَّرْدُ, which denotes consecutiveness and
uninterruptedness, and the
م is added to give intensiveness to the
signification: if so, its proper place is in art.
سرد; its measure being
فَعْمَلٌ: (MF:) [thus] its
م is augmentative like the
م in
دُلَامِصٌ. (Bd in xxviii. 71.) ― -b4- One says also,
هُوَ
لَكَ
سَرْمَدًا He, or
it, is thine ever, or
for ever. (Mgh in art.
سمد.)
