Full Definition

مَدْمُومٌ [Smeared, or done over, with any kind of dye &c.: fem. with ة]: see دَمِيمٌ.
2 [Hence,] Red.
3 And Fat in the utmost degree; full of fat; as though smeared therewith: applied to a camel &c.; or to a human being, and an ass, and a bull, and a sheep or goat, and any beast. [Accord. to the KL, it signifies also Heavily laden: but the right explanation is probably laden with fat: see دُمَّ بِالشَّحْمِ, in the first paragraph of this art.]
