جَرَّارَةٌ

Root: جر

Full Definition

جَرَّارَةٌ A small, yellow, female scorpion, like a piece of straw, (TA, [thus I render على شكل التبنة, but I think that there must be here some mistranscription, as the words seem to be descriptive of form,]) that drags its tail; for which reason it is thus called; one of the most deadly of scorpions to him whom it stings: pl. جَرَّارَاتٌ.
