Root: نمذج

Full Definition

نَمُوذَجٌ and أَنْمُوذَجٌ; which latter is said to be a corruption in the TS and the K; but this is denied by El-Khafájee and by Mtr; and learned men, in early and in late times, have constantly used the word انموذج without any expression of disapproval; Z and El-Hasan Ibn-Rasheek El-Keyrawánee, two leading lexicologists, having even named thereby books written by them; vulgo نَمُونَه [which is a Persian word]; A model, an exemplar, a pattern, or a likeness of a thing, after the similitude of which a thing is made: a model, or likeness, of a thing; i. e., a thing that is made in the form, or after the fashion, of another thing, that the mode of the latter may be known thereby: a thing which shows the mode, or quality, or qualities, of another thing: an arabicized word, from [the Persian] نَمُودَهْ.
