Full Definition

غَرْزٌ The stirrup of the camel's saddle, made of skin, sewed; that of iron [or brass] or wood being called رِكَابٌ; the camel's stirrup: IAar says that it is to the she-camel like the حِزَام to the horse: but others say, that it is to the camel like the رِكَاب, to the mule. You say, اِلْزَمْ غَرْزَ فُلَانٍ [lit. Keep thou to the stirrup of such a one; meaning,] keep thou to the commands and prohibitions of such a one. And اُشْدُدْ يَدَيْكَ بِغَرْزِهِ Cleave thou to him, and leave him not. And it is said in a trad., اِسْتَمْسِكْ بِغَرْزِهِ, meaning, Cling thou to him, and follow what he says and does, and disobey him not; like as one lays hold upon the stirrup of the rider and goes with him.

def.2 Also sing. of غُرُوزٌ, which signifies Sprigs ingrafted upon the branches of the grape-vine.
