√BRǦ
to display, show, play up her charms (woman); to adorn herself, make herself pretty (woman) – WehrCowan1979.
▪ According to ClassAr dictionaries the vb. V is derived from the obsolete vb. I, †bariǧa (a, baraǧ) ‘to be(come) apparent, manifest, conspicuous, high, elevated’ (Lane). Rolland2015_BRǦ too thinks that almost all values to be found in the root ↗BRǦ (even ↗burǧ ‘tower’) go back to one original meaning. But he thinks this was *‘to deal a blow’ (porter un coup); in Rolland’s view, ‘to appear’, like also five other main values (see DISC in entry ↗BRǦ), is secondary.
▪ eC7 tabarraǧa ([said only of women:] to adorn themselves in an enticing way, in a lust-causing way; to expose themselves in an alluring way) Q 33:33 wa-qarna fī buyūti-kunna wa-lā tabarraǧna tabarruǧa ’l-ǧāhiliyyaẗi ’l-ʔūlà ‘stay in your houses, and do not display your finery in the way of the pagans of old’. – mutabarriǧ ([said only of women:] those who flaunt their bodies in an alluring way, display their adornment enticingly) Q 24:60 wa’l-qawāʕidu min-a ’l-nisāʔi ’llātī lā yarǧūna nikāḥan fa-laysa ʕalay-hinna ǧunāḥun ʔan yaḍaʕna ṯiyāba-hunna ġayra mutabarriǧātin bi-zīnaaẗin ‘such women as are past childbearing who have no hope of marriage, there is no blame on them if they take off their [outer] garments, without however, flaunting their charms’.
