دَامِرٌ

Root: دمر

Full Definition

دَامِرٌ A man in a state of perdition, in whom is no good. And رَجُلٌ خَاسِرٌ دَامِرٌ and خَسِرٌ [A man erring and perishing]: Lh says that دَمِرٌ in the latter phrase is an imitative sequent to خَسِرٌ: but [ISd says,] I think that خَسِرٌ is a verbal epithet, and دَمِرٌ a possessive epithet. [See also art. خسر.]
