دُبَيْلَةٌ

Full Definition

دُبَيْلَةٌ A certain malady in the جَوْف, [i. e.,] in the belly, being a collection of corrupt matter therein; wherefore it is thus called; as also and دُبْلَةٌ : accord. to ISh, an ulcer that penetrates into the belly: [see also دُبَالٌ:] or an ulcer that comes forth within the side, and discharges internally; the sufferer from which seldom recovers: also called ذَاتُ الجَنْبِ: (TA in art. جنب:) a large tumour (in Pers. وَرَم بُزُرگ). [Abu-l-Kásim Ez-Zahráwee describes the modes of cauterizing the دبيلة in order to hasten its coming to maturity. (See “ Albucasis de Chirurgia, ” p. 98, where the word is twice written ذبيلة; once, ذبعيلة; and once, correctly, دبيلة.) Golius explains دَبْلَةٌ and دُبْلَةٌ by “ vomica, apostema, ” as on the authority of the S and KL; in neither of which do I find anything of the kind: nor do I find دَبْلَةٌ even mentioned in either of those works.]
2 See also دِبْلٌ. Hence the saying, دَبَلَتْهُمُ الدُّبَيْلَةُ: see 1, in the latter part of the paragraph.
