Full Definition
ذَرًى
, also written ذَرًا, (or, accord. to some copies of the S, ذُرًى ,) A thing [such as dust &c.] that the wind has raised, or made to fly, and carried away: or it signifies what one has winnowed; or مَا تَذْرُوهُ [what thou winnowest, as is indicated by the context of this explanation]; like as نَفَضٌ signifies مَاتَنْفُضُهُ.
2 And ذَرًى or ذُرًى Tears poured forth: or so ذَرِىٌّ [or دَمْعٌ ذَرِىٌّ].
def.2 Also A shelter; anything by which one is protected, or sheltered: a shelter from the cold wind, consisting of a wall, or of trees: and particularly a shelter that is made for camels such as are termed شَوْل, by pulling up trees of the kind called عَرْفَج &c. and placing them one upon another in the direction whence blows the north, or northerly, wind, in the camel's nightly resting-place. [Hence,] one says, فُلَانٌ فِى ذَرَى فُلَانٍ Such a one is in the protection of such a one. And أَنَا فِى ظِلِّ فُلَانٌ وَفِى ذَرَاهُ I am in the protection of such a one, and in his shelter. And [hence, perhaps,] إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَكَرِيمُ الذَّرَى
2 Also The court, or yard, (فِنَآء,) of a house.
def.3 see also ذَرْوٌ, in two places.
