أَصْبَحُ

Full Definition

أَصْبَحُ Of a black colour inclining to redness: or having redness intermixed in his black hair: or whose hair, or beard, has a red hue overspreading it: or having hair intensely red: it is nearly the same as أَصْهَبُ: and is an epithet applied to a man and to a lion: and to hair as meaning having whiteness naturally intermixed in it with redness; of whatever kind it be: fem. صَبْحَآءُ: and pl. صُبْحٌ: and hence [accord. to some] meaning “ the dawn; ” for, as Az says, the colour of the true dawn inclines a little to redness. [Hence, because of his colour,] الأَصْبَحُ signifies The lion. In the phrase أُسُودٌ صُبْحٌ, the epithet is added as a corroborative.
2 And the fem., صَبْحَآءُ signifies A female conspicuous, or clear, or fair, in the جَبِين [or side of the forehead].
