An Aggressive Corruption
Commentators explain that the term 'fretting leprosy' signifies an aggressive, corrupting force. It is described as 'malignant' or 'corroding' (Barnes, Ellicott) and 'sharp and pricking' (Gill). This wasn't a simple stain but likely a destructive mildew that actively spread, indicating a deep and persistent impurity.
