مَسْرُوَّةٌ

Root: سرو

Full Definition

مَسْرُوَّةٌ A land containing the سِرْوَة, or locust in its first state, when it is a larva. [In a copy of the M, it is said to be from السَّرْوَةُ; and the context there indicates the meaning to be A land infested by a worm of the kind termed سَرْوٌ, of which سَرْوَةٌ is the n. un.: but probably السَّرْوَةُ, in this instance, is a mistranscription for السِّرْوَةُ, which is mentioned immediately after as meaning “ the locust in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg. ”]
