مُرَبَّبٌ Made [or preserved] with رُبّ [or inspissated juice]; like as مُعَسَّلٌ signifies “ made [or preserved] with عَسَل [or honey]: ” you say زَنْجَبِيلٌ مُرَبَّبٌ and مُرَبًّى [ginger so preserved]: and مُرَبَّبَاتٌ signifies Preserves, or confections, made with رُبّ; and in like manner مُرَبَّيَاتٌ, except that this is from التَّرْبِيَةُ [Verbal.Noun of رَبَّى].
2 Also Oil of which the grain (حَبّ [perhaps a mistranscription for حُبّ i. e. jar]) whence it has been prepared, or taken, has been perfumed ( ): or oil perfumed with sweet-smelling plants; as also مَرْبُوبٌ and مُرَبًّى.
