رَاجِزٌ

Root: رجز

Full Definition

رَاجِزٌ One who utters, or recites, poetry, or verse, of the metre termed رَجَزٌ; who speaks in verse of that metre; who poetizes, or versifies, in that metre: and in like manner, مُرْتَجِزٌ , and رَجَّازٌ [which signifies one who does so much], and [one who does so very much]. El-'Ajjáj has been placed the highest in rank as a راجز. (Mz, 49th نوع.) [His son, Ru-beh, seems to occupy nearly an equal place. Each of them composed a complete deewán of رَجَز.]
2 [Hence,] سَحَابَةٌ [A cloud thundering much, or uninterruptedly]. And غَيْثٌ مُرْتَجِزٌ , and مُتَرَجِّزٌ , Rain accompanied by thunder.
