Root: نور

Full Definition

نَوْرٌ Blossoms, or flowers, of a tree, and of a plant: or white blossoms or flowers; the yellow being called زَهْرٌ; for they become white, and then become yellow: and نَوْرَةٌ and نُوَّارٌ signify the same as نَوْرٌ: or [rather] نَوْرٌ and نُوَّارٌ signify the same; [but the former is often used as a generic n., signifying a kind of blossom or flower: though both are coll. gen. ns.;] and نَوْرَةٌ is the n. un. of نَوْرٌ, like as تَمْرَةٌ is of تَمْرٌ; and نُوَّارَةٌ is the n. un. of نُوَّارٌ: and the pl. of نَوْرٌ is أَنْوَارٌ.
