Ṣayrūrah means that a subject itself comes to possess a quality or state. The source example is:
نَوَّرَ الشَّجَرُ
Translation: The tree came into blossom.
The tree is the grammatical subject, and the sentence describes its condition. It does not say that the tree made some other thing blossom.
Contrast taṣyīr, in which an agent brings about a state in another entity. Here the subject's own transformation is foregrounded.
