Root: حنط

Full Definition

حَانِطٌ A possessor of حِنْطَة [or wheat]: or one who possesses much thereof. [A possessive epithet, like لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ.] And قَوْمٌ حَانِطُونَ A people whose seed-produce has attained to the time for its being reaped: [in this sense also] a possessive epithet.
2 Also, [act. part. n. of حَنَطَ, or,] accord. to Sh and ISd, an act. part. n. of أَحْنَطَ, as applied to the رِمْث, contr. to analogy, meaning [Mature and] having its leaves become white; as also مُحْنِطٌ : and, applied to a tree, and a herb, having its fruit mature. Also, accord. to Sh, i. q. وَارِسٌ, in the phrase حَانِطُ الغَضَى [app. meaning What is putting forth its leaves, of trees of the kind called غَضًى]: but accord. to Ibn-'Abbád and the K, the fruit of the kind of tree called غَضًى.
3 Also Red leather. And أَحْمَرُ حَانِطٌ Intensely red: because wheat (الحِنْطَةُ) is called الحَمْرَآءُ.
