مِصَكٌّ

Root: صك

Full Definition

مِصَكٌّ Strong: applied to a man; and to other than man; [i. e.] applied to a camel, and to an ass, as in a verse cited in the last paragraph of art. سهر; and أَصَكُّ signifies the same: the fem. of the former is with ة; which is held by Sb to be rare; for epithets of the measures مِفْعَلٌ and مِفْعَالٌ seldom have ة affixed to denote the fem.
2 One says also رَأْسٌ مِصَكٌّ لِلرُّؤُوسِ [app. meaning A head strong to butt, or knock, against other heads]. (K in art. رأس.)
3 See also أَصَكُّ.

def.2 Also A lock; syn. مِغْلَاقٌ.
