Full Definition
ضَارٍ
Attached, addicted, or devoted, to a thing; habituated, or accustomed, thereto, so as hardly, or in nowise, to withhold himself therefrom; and emboldening himself to do it or undertake it or the like: and keeping, or cleaving, thereto; being attached, addicted, or devoted, to it; like the animal of prey to the chase. [Hence,] كَلْبٌ ضَارٍ, or كَلْبٌ ضَارٍ بِالصَّيْدِ, A dog habituated, or accustomed, to the chase: and كَلْبَةٌ ضَارِيَةٌ. (S. [See also ضِرْوٌ, first sentence.]) [كَلْبٌ ضَارٍ بِالصَّيْدِ is also expl. in the TA by the words إِذَا تَطَعَّمَ بِلَحْمِهِ, app. meaning A dog having his appetite excited by tasting the flesh of the game.] ضَوَارٍ [is pl. of ضَارٍ applied to an irrational animal, and as such] signifies [Animals accustomed to prey; rapacious, or ravenous, beasts; and particularly] lions. And المَوَاشِى الضَّارِيَةُ
The cattle that are in the habit of pasturing upon peoples' seed-produce. And بَيْتٌ ضَارٍ بِاللَّحْمِ
A house, or tent, in which flesh-meat is habitually found so much that its odour remains in it. And سِقَآءٌ ضَارٍ
بِاللَّبَنِ, thus correctly, as in the M, but in [some of] the copies of the K بِالسَّمْنِ, A skin in which milk is long kept so that its flavour becomes good. And جَرَّةٌ ضَارِيَةٌ بِالخَلِّ and بِالنَّبِيذِ [A jar become seasoned with vinegar and with must or the like]. الإِنَآءُ الضَّارِى, occurring in a trad. of 'Alee, is said to mean The jar that runs [or leaks]; and the drinking from it is forbidden because it renders the drinking troublesome: thus expl. by IAar: but it is also expl. as meaning the wine-jar that has become seasoned with wine (ضَرِىَ بِالْخَمْرِ); so that when نَبِيذ is put into it, it becomes intoxicating. And عِرْقٌ ضَارٍ means A vein shedding blood: [or quivering, and gushing with blood or making a sound by reason of the blood coming forth: ] or flowing, or running: (TA: see ضَرِىٌّ:) or accustomed to be opened, and therefore when the time for it is come and it is opened, emitting its blood more quickly.
