قَعِيرٌ

Root: قعر

Full Definition

قَعِيرٌ Deep; having a remote bottom; applied to a river; as also قَعُورٌ , accord. to the K; but this is not mentioned by any one before the author of the K, and is a mistake for قَعُّورٌ , which occurs afterwards in the K. You say بِئْرٌ قَعِيرَةٌ, and قَعُّورٌ , A deep well; a well having a remote bottom. And قَصْعَةٌ قَعِيرَةٌ A deep bowl. قَعُورٌ is also applied as an epithet to a woman's vulva: (Ibn-Habeeb, TA in art. خجى:) and, accord. to the K, to a woman.
