Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon

مَسْمُونٌ

Root: سمن

Full Definition

مَسْمُونٌ Food made [or prepared] with سَمْن: or moistened, and stirred about, therewith: [and سَمِينٌ signifies the same; for] a rájiz says, لَحْمُ جَزُورٍ غَثَّةٍ سَمِينَةْ فَبَا كَرَتْنَا جَفْنَةٌ بَطِينَهٌ [And a capacious bowl came to us early in the morning, flesh of a slaughtered camel, lean, prepared with clarified butter]: i. e. فَبَاكَرَتْنَا جَفْنَةٌ بَطِينَةْ, from السَّمْنُ, not from السِّمَنُ.
