الكَوَاسِبُ

Root: كسب

Full Definition

الكَوَاسِبُ i. q. الجَوَارِحُ, here meaning The members by means of which is gained, acquired, or earned, sustenance, or the like. [The explanation in the TA, الجَوَارِحُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَالطَّيْرِ, seems, at first sight, to signify preyers, whether men or birds: but this meaning I do not think to be the one intended.]
