حَصِيصَةٌ

Root: حص

Full Definition

حَصِيصَةٌ What is collected from shaving or plucking out. [See also حَصِيصٌ.]
2 Also The hair and fur of the ear, whether shaven off or not: or, as some say, hair and fur in general: but the former explanation is more known.
3 And What is above the أَشْعَر [or part next the hoof (in the CK erroneously written شَعَر)] of the horse; i. e., of the hair that surrounds the hoof: so called because of the paucity of that hair.
