Full Definition
دَيَّاصٌ
A man over whom one cannot get power: or strong in the muscles: or a man whom one cannot seize because of the strength of his muscles: or a fat man: so it is said; and if it be correct, it is because, when he is seized, he slips away from the hand by reason of his abundance of flesh: and with ة, a fat woman: or a woman bulky, or fleshy, and short, and that quivers, or quakes [by reason of her abundance of flesh]: or a fleshy woman: and a short woman.
