Full Definition

فَاضح [act. part. n. of 1]. It is said in a prov., الظَّمَأُ الفَادِحُ أَهْوَنُ مِنَ الرِّىِّ الفَاضِحِ [Oppressing thirst is easier to bear than the state of satisfaction with drinking that disgraces, or puts to shame] and you say, إِذَا كَانَ العُذْرُ وَاضِحًا كَانَ العِتَابُ فَاضِحًا [When the excuse is manifest, reproof is disgracing].
2 And الفَاضِحُ signifies The daybreak, or dawn: because it exposes and manifests everything.
