أَقْرَحُ

Root: قرح

Full Definition

أَقْرَحُ A horse having in his face a [star, or blaze, such as is termed] قُرْحَة: [fem. قَرْحَآءُ:] pl. قُرْحٌ. And it is also an epithet applied [in a similar sense] to every common fly. (A, TA. [See قَدُوحٌ.])
2 [Hence,] رَوْضَةٌ قَرْحَآءُ [A meadow] in which, or in the middle of which, is a white نُوَّارَة [or flower]; or in the middle of which are white نَوْر [or flowers]: and of which the herbage has appeared.
3 And [hence also] تَعَرَّى الدُّجَى عَنْ وَجْهٍ أَقْرَحَ [The darkness became stripped] from the dawn, or daybreak.
4 See also قُرْحَان, last signification.
5 [اَقْرَحُ in the CK voce قَسَامِىّ is a mistake for the verb أَقْرَحَ; not an epithet as Freytag has supposed it to be.]
