Full Definition

جُبَارٌ A thing of which no account, or for which no revenge or retaliation or mulct, is taken. You say, ذَهَبَ دَمَهُ جُبَارًا His blood went unrevenged, unretaliated, or unexpiated by a mulct. And جُرْحٌ جُبَارٌ A wound for which is no retaliation, nor any expiatory mulct. And حَرْبٌ جُبَارٌ A war in which is no retaliation, nor any expiatory mulct. And المَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ [The mine is a thing for which no mulct is exacted]: i. e., if the mine fall in upon him who is working in it, and he perish, his hirer is not to be punished for it. And البِئْرُ جُبَارٌ [The well is a thing for which no mulct is exacted]: i. e., if a man fall into an ancient well, and perish, his blood is not to be expiated by a mulct: or, as some say, it relates to a hired man's descending into a well to cleanse it, or to take forth something from it, if he fall into it and die. (TA in art. بأر.) And جُرحُ العَجُمَآءِ جُبَارٌ The wound of the speechless beast, if it get loose and wound a man or other thing while loose, is a thing for which no retaliation or expiatory mulct is exacted.
2 Clear, or quit, of a thing: so in the saying, أَنَا مِنْهُ خَلَاوَةٌ وُجُبَارٌ [I am clear, or quit, of it]. (K. [See also فَالِجٌ.])

def.2 A torrent.
2 Anything that corrupts, or mars, and destroys; as the torrent, &c.: or anything that is corrupted, or marred, and destroyed.
