Full Definition
تُوتٌ
and تُوثٌ; (Mgh, and L and K in art. توث, q. v.;) the latter sometimes used; or this is not allowable; for the word, which is app. Persian, is pronounced by the Arabs with ت for the final as well as for the initial letter; [The mulberry; and especially the white mulberry;] i. q.
فِرْصَادٌ: or, accord. to the people of El-Basrah, or some of the people of El-Basrah, توت is the name of the fruit, and فرصاد is that of the tree; and this is what is commonly held: or, accord. to IDrd and others, توت is an arabicized word, and فرصاد is the Arabic name: [توت is a coll. gen. n.:] the n. un. is with ة. [Golius says, in his Lex., on the authority of Zeyn El-' Attár, that there are three kinds: “ توت حلو, ” i. e. حُلْوٌ, “ the sweet and white mulberry, peculiarly called فرصاد; and توت حامض, ” i. e. حَامِضٌ, “ “ the sour and black mulberry; and توت وحشى, ” i. e. وَحْشِىٌّ, “ and توت العليق, ” i. e. العُلَّيْقٌ, “ the wild mulberry, i. e., with red fruit. ” In Egypt, توت is applied to the sweet mulberry, white and black, and especially to the former, as also توت بَلَدِىّ; and توت شَامِىّ to the latter. In the present day, توت العُلَّيْق is applied to the raspberry; as also توت شَوْكِىّ: and توت وَحْشِىّ, I believe, to the blackberry.
توت أَرْضِىّ and توت إِفْرَنْجِىّ are applied to the strawberry.]
