Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon

دَرَّاجَةٌ

Root: درج

Full Definition

دَرَّاجَةٌ A حَال [or kind of go-cart]; i. e. the thing upon which a child is made [to lean so as] to step along, or walk slowly, when he [first] walks: or the machine on wheels on which an old man and a child [lean so as to] step along, or walk slowly.
2 Also A دَبَّابَة [or musculus, or testudo], which is made for the purpose of besieging, beneath which men enter. [The first and last of these significations are also assigned by Golius and Freytag to دُرَجَةٌ: but for this I find no authority; although, after the latter of them, Golius indicates the authority of the S and K; and Freytag, that of the K.]
