رَاوُوقٌ

Root: روق

Full Definition

رَاوُوقٌ A clarifier, or strainer, syn. مِصْفَاةٌ, for wine or beverage: the نَاجُود [q. v.] with which wine, or beverage, is cleared, without pressing, or expressing: and the [kind of wine-vessel called] بَاطِيَة. Accord. to IAar, who is said by Sh to differ herein from all others, الرَّاوُوقُ signifies also The كَأْس [or drinking-cup, or cup of wine,] itself. And Dukeyn uses it metaphorically in relation to youth; saying, أَسْقَى بِرَاوُوقِ الشَّبَابِ الخَاضِبِ [app. meaning He gave to drink of the cup of ruddy youth: see خَاضِبٌ as an epithet applied to an ostrich].
