مَعْذُورٌ

Root: عذر

Full Definition

مَعْذُورٌ Excused; freed, cleared, or exempted, from blame; exculpated.
2 And [hence, perhaps,] مَعْذُورَةٌ applied to a woman signifies مُسْتَحَاضَةٌ [q. v. in art. حيض]: and sometimes one says عَاذِرَةٌ ; as meaning having an excuse: the latter is said to be used in the sense of مُسْتَحَاضَةٌ; but it requires consideration; as though it were of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ in the sense of مَفْعُولَةٌ, [i. e. in the sense of مَعْذُورَةٌ as meaning excused,] from إِقَامَةُ العُذْرِ.
3 [Golius assigns to مَعْذُورٌ the meaning of “ Voti impos; ” as on the authority of the KL; in which, however, I do not find it.]

def.2 Also Circumcised.

def.3 And A camel branded with the mark called عِذَار.

def.4 And [A child] affected with the pain, of the fauces, termed عُذْرَة.
