Full Definition

A flat place, with small pebbles, and without plants, or herbage.
2 مَسْحَآءُ A plain tract of land, with small pebbles, and without plants, or herbage: [ex.] مَرَرْتُ بِخَرِيقٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ بِيْنَ مَسْحَاوَيْنِ [I passed by a depressed tract of land containing herbage between two plain tracts containing small pebbles and without herbage]: or a piece of flat ground, bare, abounding with pebbles, containing no trees nor herbage, rugged, somewhat hard, like a flat place in which camels &c. are confined, or in which dates are dried, not what is termed قُفّ, nor what is termed سَهْلَة: pl. مَسَاحٍ and مَسَاحى [i. e. مَسَاحَى or مَسَاحِىُّ]; pl. forms proper to substs.; as it is an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates.
3 Also مَسْحآءُ Red land.
4 مَسْحَآءُ A woman having little flesh in her posteriors and thighs; or foul, ugly, or unseemly; syn. رَسْحَآءُ. [In the K., الأَرْضُ الرَّسْحَآءُ, given as an explanation of المَسْحَآءُ, is an evident mistake for المَرْأَةُ الرَّسْحَآءُ, as observed by Freytag.]
5 أَمْسَحُ, or أَمْسَحُ القَدَمِ, A man having a flat sole to his foot, without any hollow: fem. مَسْحَآءُ: and مَسِيحٌ , or القَدَمَيْنِ, signifies the same: and also having smooth and soft feet, without fissures or chaps, so that they repel water when it falls upon them.
6 Also مَسْحَآءُ, or مسحآءُ الثَّدْىِ, A woman whose breast has no bulk.
7 Also مَسْحَآءُ A one-eyed woman: [see also مَسِيحٌ:] and such as is termed بِخْقَآءُ, whose eye is not مُلَوَّزَة: so in [most of] the copies of the K., but in some, بِلَّوْرَة: [the meaning seems to be whose eye has no crystalline humour].
8 أَمْسَحُ A man having little flesh in his posteriors and thighs; or having small buttocks sticking together; syn. ارسح: fem. مَسْحَآءُ: pl. مُسْحٌ.
