Full Definition

ذُوتُدْرَهٍ , and تُدْرَأٍ, He is one who is wont to come suddenly, or unawares, upon his enemies, whence they know not. And هُوَ ذُوتُدْرَهِهِمْ, (IAar, JK, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, تُدْرِهِهِمْ,]) and تُدْرَئِهِمْ, He is the repeller from them, or the defender of them, فِى الحَرْبِ [in war or fight]: you may not say هُوَ تُدْرَهُهُمْ, without ذُو. Some say that the ه is a substitute for the ء. but ISd affirms that the two words, with ه and with ء, are dial. vars.
