Full Definition

مُسَانَدَةٌ (O, K, and Ham p. 783, in the CK and TK [erroneously] مُسَانِدَةٌ) A she-camel having the breast and fore part prominent: or whereof one part of her frame stays, or supports, (يُسَانِدُ,) [and so renders firm or strong,] another part: or having prominent withers: or strong in the back: or whose frame, or make, is symmetrical, or conformable in its several parts: or, as some say, whose frame, or make, is dissimilar, or unconformable, in its several parts; because the hump differs from the other parts; so that it is from the phrase تَسَانَدَ القَوْمُ meaning as expl. above [see 6]: and مُسَانَدَةُ القَرَا a she-camel hard, firmly compacted, in the back.
