Root: شمل

Full Definition

شَمُولٌ : see شَمَالٌ.
2 Also Wine: or wine that is cool to the taste; but this is not of valid authority; as also : [wine is said to be] thus called because it envelops (تَشْمَلُ) men with its odour: or because it has a strong puff (عَصْفَة), [when opened,] like that of the [wind called] شَمَال [in the CK شمال].
