Root: قرض

Full Definition

قَرِيضٌ The cud: or what the camel returns [to his mouth, to be chewed again, or to his stomach,] of his cud; as also مَقْرُوضٌ : or it is applied to the cud (جِرَّة) of the camel, and signifies chewed: or, accord. to Kr, this is فَرِيضٌ, with ف. And hence, accord. to some, the saying حَالَ الجَرِيضُ دُونَ القَرِيضِ [explained in art. جرض]: but accord. to others, the last word in this saying has the signification next but one following.

def.2 The sound, or voice, of a man in dying. (Er-Riyáshee, in TA, art. جرض.)

def.3 Poetry: so called for one or another of the reasons mentioned under 1, last sentence but one; of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: El-Aghlab El-'Ijlee distinguishes between it and رَجَز.
