Root: حك
Full Definition
المُحَكَّكُ
[The rubbing-post; i. e.] the thing that is set up in the place where camels lie down, at their watering-place, for the mangy camels to rub against it. Hence the saying of El-Hobáb Ibn-El-Mundhir El-Ansáree, أَنَا جُذَيْلُهَا المُحَكَّكُ وَعُذَيْقُهَا المُرَجَّبُ, [see جِذْلٌ,] meaning I am he by means of whose counsel, or advice, and forecast, relief is sought: or it has another meaning, preferred by Az, i. e., that the sayer was one who had been strengthened by experience, who had experienced and known affairs, and been tried, or proved, by them, and found to be one who bore up against difficulty, strong and firm, such as would not flee from his adversary: or the meaning is, I am, exclusively of [the rest of] the Ansár, a rubbing-post for him who would oppose me, and with me should the stubborn be coupled: the dim. form is here used for the purpose of aggrandizement. [See also حِكَاكٌ.]
