Full Definition
جُوذَابٌ
and ذُوبَاجٌ, the latter formed by transposition, (L and TA in art. ذبج,) A kind of food, prepared with sugar and rice and flesh-meat: [from the Persian كُوذَابْ, as observed by Golius:] it might be hastily imagined to be arabicized from جُوزَهْ آبْ; but this is not the case: [n. un. with ة: or] جُوذَابَةٌ is a cake of bread (خُبْزَةٌ) put into the oven (تَنُّور), and having suspended over it a bird or some flesh-meat, the gravy of which flows upon it as long as it is cooking; also called أُمُّ الفَرَجِ, because it removes one's anxiety for seasoning, or condiment.
