Full Definition

حَرِيزٌ A place fortified, strong, or protected against attack; as also مُحْرَزٌ . You say, حِرْزٌ حَرِيزٌ A strong fortified place: the latter word is a corroborative. [See also حَارِزٌ. Hence,] لَا حَرِيزَ مِنْ بَيْعٍ [There is nothing kept from sale]: a prov.; meaning, if thou give me a price that I approve, I will sell to thee. [Hence also,] حَرَائِزُ [a pl.] Camels that are not sold, because of their preciousness. And فُلَانٌ حَرِيزٌ مِنْ هٰذَا Such a one is a person who keeps aloof from, or shuns, this.
2 A recompense or the like, taken, received, or got possession of; as also مُحْرَزٌ .
