Full Definition

سَاحِرٌ [An enchanter;] a man who practices سِحْر; as also سَحَّارٌ [in an intensive sense, or denoting habit or frequency]: pl. of the former سَحَرَةٌ and سُحَّارٌ; and of ↓ the latter, سَحَّارُونَ only, for it has no broken pl. [Hence,] one says, لَهَا عَيْنٌ سَاحِرَةٌ [She has an enchanting, or a fascinating, eye], and عُيُونٌ سَوَاحِرُ [enchanting, or fascinating, eyes]. And أَرْضٌ سَاحِرَةُ السَّرَابِ [A land of delusive mirage].
