Why this meaning was chosen
Finite verbs describe the response sought under affliction or punishment, while verbal nouns characterize calling upon and remembering God privately and fearfully. The noun ضَرِيع names food whose following description denies nourishment and relief from hunger; its Quran-internal food context provides no bridge to the act of humble entreaty, so it is isolated as a lexical collision.
