Full Definition
قُتَارٌ
The scent, smell, or odour, of roast meat; or of flesh-meat when roasted upon live coals: this is the sense in which the Arabs use it: [or] it signifies also that of a cooking-pot: and of burnt bone: and of aloes-wood, or of
بَخُور, i. e., aloes-wood which is burnt and with which one fumigates: or the last odour of aloes-wood when one fumigates with it: or it has not this signification of the odour of aloes-wood, but the Arabs compare the liking of men in a time of dearth for the scent of roast meat to their liking for the odour of aloeswood: or it signifies the smoke of cooked food: and the scent, or smell, of a man.
2 It is also sometimes applied by the Arabs to Fat: and flesh.
