Root: شيع
Full Definition
شَيْعَةٌ
A certain tree, below the stature of a man, having knotted, or jointed, rods, and small, dark-red blossoms, smaller than the jasmine: the bees feed upon it; and men eat its tender extremities, being rendered healthy, or sound, thereby; (يَتَصَحَّحُونَ بِهِ;) and it has a hot quality in the mouth; and is sweet in odour: clothes become sweet-scented by adhering to it, i. e. to its blossom, agreeably with what is said in the “ Book of Plants, ” not to the tree, to which the pronoun refers in the O and K; and its honey is clear, very clear, and is well known: it is a pasture; and grows in the plains, and near to seed-produce.
