مَجْهُورٌ

Root: جهر

Full Definition

مَجْهُورٌ Notorious; applied to a thing: and so مُجْتَهَرٌ applied to a man: and مُجْهَرٌ plain, apparent, or conspicuous; applied to a thing.
2 الحُرُوفُ المَجْهُورَةُ [The letters that are pronounced with the voice, and not with the breath only; the vocal letters;] the letters that are comprised in the saying ظِلُّ قَوٍّ رَبَضٌ إِذْ غَزَا جُنْدُ مُطِيعٌ: opposed to المَهْمُوسَةُ: so called [accord. to some] because there is a full stress in the place where any one of them occurs, and the breath is prevented from passing with it until the stress is ended with the passage of the voice.

def.2 مَآءٌ مَجْهُورٌ Water which, having been buried in the earth, has been drawn until it has become sweet.
2 مَجْهُورَةٌ A well (بِئْرٌ) cleared out, and cleansed from the black fetid mud which it had contained.
3 And Wells frequented [and in use], whether their water be sweet or salt.
