سُمُطٌ

Root: سمط

Full Definition

سُمُطٌ , and سَمِيطٌ , and , which last is pl. of سَمِيطٌ, A sandal, or sole, that is of a single piece [of leather, not of two or more pieces sewed together, one upon another], (طَاقٌ وَاحِدٌ, S, TA,) in which is no patch: or the last, or all, not having a second piece sewed on to it; as also سِمْطٌ . (So in the K, voce فَرْدٌ.)
2 [ثَوْبٌ سُمُطٌ (the latter word occurring twice in art. لجف in the TA, and there opposed to مُبَطَّنٌ, and said to be masc. and fem.,) i. q.] سِمْطٌ ثَوْبٌ A garment having no lining; [either] a طَيْلَسَان, or such as is of cotton: but one does not say كِسَآءٌ سِمْطٌ nor مِلْحَفَةٌ سِمْطٌ, because such are not [ever] lined: or [accord. to some] سِمْطٌ signifies a garment that is lined below; expl. by saying, أَوِ السِّمْطُ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ مَا ظُهِّرَ مِنْ تَحْتُ, (K, TA, [in the CK, and in a MS. copy of the K, for ظُهِّرَ, we find ظَهَرَ,]) i. e. جُعِلَ لَهُ ظَهْرٌ: [but I think that ظَهَرَ is undoubtedly the right reading; and that سِمْطٌ means any portion that appears of a garment worn beneath a shorter garment:] see سَنَدٌ, last sentence.
3 سَرَاوِيلُ Trousers, or drawers, not stuffed: i. e., or, as Th says, of single cloth, طَاقٌ وَاحِدٌ.
4 نَاقَةٌ سُمُطٌ, and , A she-camel without any brand, or mark made by a hot iron.

def.2 سُمُطٌ is also a pl. of سِمَاطٌ [q. v.].
