Full Definition
def.2 Also, applied to a woman, Barren: that does not conceive: or that has ceased to conceive: as being from عَقُرَتْ, it is an instance of the confusion of dialects; [being properly from عَقَرَتْ;] or it is a possessive epithet [meaning having the quality of barrenness]: pl. عُقَّرٌ, which is applied to women and to she-camels, or عَوَاقِرُ and عَاقِرَاتٌ: and عُقَرَةٌ is in like manner applied to a woman, signifying, having a disease in her womb, in consequence of which she does not conceive.
2 Applied to a man, Barren; that has no offspring born to him; as also عَقِيرٌ : the former anomalous; [if regarded as from عَقُرَ, not from عَقَرَ; but عَقُرَ said of a man, I do not find;] the latter regular; [if from عَقُرَ;] and the latter has not been heard applied to a woman: pl. عُقَّرٌ: and عُقَرَةٌ is also applied to a man, and signifies, one who comes to women, and feels them, and indulges himself with them in mutual embracing, or pressing to the bosom, (يُحَاضِنُهُنَّ,) but has no offspring born to him.
