Full Definition

مُرِذٌّ A sky (سَمَآءٌ) raining, or letting fall, such rain as is termed رَذَاذ; and so مَرِذَّةٌ. One says, السَّمَآءُ مُرِذٌّ وَالسَّمَاعُ مُلِذٌّ فَهَلْ أَنْتَ إِلَيْنَا مُغِذٌّ [The sky is raining a fine rain, and what is being heard is delighting: art thou, then, coming to us quickly?]: meaning what is heard of discourse, or narration, and of science; not of singing.
2 [Hence,] A day in which is rain such as is termed رَذَاذ. And A water-skin, or milk-skin, exuding, or letting flow, what is in it. And Anything flowing.
