Full Definition

حَوْثُ a dial. var. of حَيْثُ, of the dial. of Teiyi, or of that of Temeem: some of the Arabs say حَوْثَ, like as some say حَيْثَ; and some say حَوْثِ: (Mughnee and TA in art. حيث:) حَوْثُ is the original form; but حَيْثُ is the more chaste of the two forms, and that used in the Kur-án; though both forms are good. See art. حيث.
