تحول خطابه إلى طيف عميق من الخطاب اللاذع Explanation: Now that we have more insight into the context, I changed the meaning of purple to لاذع, which is one fo the definitions in Sakhr. This is definition for purple in Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary: 3 a : highly rhetorical : ORNATE b : marked by profanity I have used definition b. here. This is why it is important for askers to provide as much context and information as possible about the term they are asking to be translated, as Fuad Yahya rightly stated on another question today. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 days (2005-08-07 18:50:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Instead of \"عميق\", we should put \"واضح\" where deep here entails a darker shade. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 days (2005-08-07 18:51:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note that m-w\'s first definition fits the first suggested answer, which was rejected by the asker.
