Root: ترس

Full Definition

مَتْرَسَةٌ , or متْرَسَةٌ, (K, accord. to the TA, [and so I find in a MS. copy of that work, and in the CK, but the former is probably the correct form, being agreeable with analogy, like مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ &c.,]) Anything by which one is defended, or protected. You say also هُوَ مَتْرَسَةٌ لَكَ [He is a cause of defence, or protection, to thee].
