فَارِكٌ

Root: فرك

Full Definition

فَارِكٌ A woman hating, or who hates, her husband; [app. accord. to the K, vehemently;] as also فَرُوكٌ [but app. in an intensive sense]: pl. of the former فَوَارِكٌ. Dhur-Rummeh says, describing camels, إِذَا اللَّيْلُ عَنْ نَشْزٍ تَجَلَّى رَمَيْنَهُ بِأَمْثَالِ أَبْصَارِ النِّسَآءِ الفَوَارِكِ [When the night clears away from an elevated piece of ground, they cast at it the like of the eyes of the women that hate their husbands]: he likens them to the women that hate their husbands because these raise their eyes towards men, not confining the look to the husbands: he says, these camels enter upon the time of dawn, having journeyed all their night; and whenever an elevated piece of ground becomes within their view, they cast their eyes at it by reason of sprightliness and strength for the journeying.
