مِبْضَعٌ

Root: بضع

Full Definition

مِبْضَعٌ A lancet; an instrument with which a vein is cut: and [a currier's knife] with which leather is cut: [pl. مَبَاضِعُ: accord. to the Mirkát el-Loghah, as cited by Golius, it signifies a farrier's fleam; differing from مِشْرَطٌ, which signifies a surgeon's lancet: but this distinction is probably post-classical; for accord. to the TA, these two words signify the same.]
