Its root in the classical dictionaries

العرض: خلاف الطول، وأصله أن يقال في الأجسام، ثم يستعمل في غيرها كما قال:

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿وجنة عرضها السماوات والأرض﴾ [آل عمران: 133] العرض مقابل الطول، وإذا كان عرضها كذلك فما ظنك بطولها؟ وهو من باب التنبيه بالأدنى على الأعلى. ومثله في المعنى: ﴿بطائنها من استبرق﴾ [الرحمن: 54] فما ظنك بالظهارة؟ فإن العادة قاضية بأن الظهارة أنفس من البطانة. وأنشد للأعشى: [من الطويل]
