m-r-r

Description

The Arabic root م-ر-r (m-r-r) carries the core semantic meaning of passing through, continuing motion, or intensity, which extends to concepts of repetition (passing again), bitterness (intense unpleasant taste), and soundness (passing through without defect). In the Quran, this root appears in contexts describing the passage of time, repeated actions or events, the bitter taste of certain punishments or experiences, and the quality of things being free from corruption or defect. This semantic versatility allows the root to convey both physical movement through space and metaphorical concepts of intensity, repetition, and purity across various Quranic narratives.
