Full Definition
غَرْضٌ
and
غُرْضَةٌ The appertenance of a camel's saddle of the kind called
رَحْل
which is like the
حِزَام
of the
سَرْج and the
بِطَان
of the
قَتَب; i. e. girth, or fore girth, (تَصْدِير,) thereof; the
حِزَام
of the
رَحْل: pl. of the former, أَغْرَاضٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and أَغْرُضٌ [also a pl. of pauc.] and غُرُوضٌ [a pl. of mult.]: and of the latter, , [or rather this is a coll. gen. n.,] like as بُسْرٌ is of بُسْرَةٌ, and غُرُضٌ. [Hence the saying of Mohammad,] غُرْض shall not be bound [upon camels by pilgrims] except to three mosques; the sacred mosque [of Mekkeh], and my mosque [of ElMedeeneh], and the mosque [El-Aksà] of Beytel-Makdis [or Jerusalem].
def.2 غَرْضٌ also signifies The place of what thou hast left (مَوْضِعُ مَا تَرَكْتَهُ, not ماء [i. e. not مَآءٍ] as written in the S [and K], TA,) and not put into it anything: and is said by some to be like the أَمْت [q. v.] in a skin.
2 And A state of folding. And A man's having folds (غُرُوض) in the body when he has been fat and then has become lean. And you say, طَوَيْتُ الثَّوْبَ عَلَى غُرُوضِهِ i. e. غُرُورِهِ [I folded the garment, or piece of cloth, according to its first, or original, foldings.]
