جَشَرٌ

Full Definition

جَشَرٌ Camels or sheep or goats pasturing in their place, not returning to their owners at night: or [simply] not returning to their owners. [See also مُجَشَّرٌ.]
2 A people who pass the night with the camels, in their place, not returning to their tents or houses: who go forth with their beasts to the place of pasturage, and remain in their place, not returning to the tents or houses: the doing this is not considered as travelling, and therefore is not a legal reason for shortening the ordinary prayers: and جَشْرٌ signifies the same. (TA, as on the authority of A 'Obeyed. [But perhaps this latter is a mistranscription for جُشَّرٌ: see what follows.]) A man who is away (عَزَبٌ, K, TA) from his family, or wife, with his camels; as also جَشِيرٌ : and in like manner the former is applied to a company of men; and so جُشَّرٌ [a pl. of جَاشِرٌ , q. v.] : you say قَوْمٌ جَشَرٌ and جُشَّرٌ.

def.2 The herbs, or leguminous plants, of [the season, or rain, called] the رَبِيع; as also جَشْرٌ . And جشر [app. جَشَرٌ or جَشْرٌ ] also signifies A pasture-land in which horses feed.
