Root: صقر

Full Definition

مُصَقَّرٌ Fresh ripe dates, or fresh ripe dates that have become dry, upon which is poured دِبْس of ripe dates, in order that they may become soft: and sometimes it occurs with س; for they often change ص into س when there is in the word ق or ط or غ or خ; as in بُصَاقٌ and صِرَاطٌ and صُدْغٌ and صَمَاخٌ: or excellent fresh ripe dates, picked from the raceme, which are put into [earthen vessels of the kind called] بَسَاتِيق [pl. of بُسْتُوقَةٌ (in the TA erroneously written بَسَاتِين)], and upon which صَقْر is poured: they remain moist and good all the year.
2 And مَآءٌ مُصَقَّرٌ Water altered for the worse [in colour, as though صَقْر, i. e. دِبْس had been mixed with it]. (M. [See also صَقْرٌ and صَقَرَةٌ.])
3 And طَائِرٌ مُصَقَّرٌ A bird of the colour termed, صُقْرَةٌ, q. v.
