مُكَرَّرٌ

Root: كر

Full Definition

مُكَرَّرٌ [Repeated; reiterated].
2 المُكَرَّرُ The letter ر: because of the faltering of the tip of the tongue which is observable when one pauses after uttering it, occasioned by the reiteration with which that is done; wherefore, with respect to إِمَالَة, [as an obstacle thereto,] it is reckoned as two letters.
3 [مُكَرَّرٌ, in the present day, also signifies Refined, as an epithet applied to sugar, &c.]
