Full Definition
خَبَطٌ
What is beaten by beasts, with their feet, and broken.
2 Leaves of any kind that have been made to fall from a tree; by its being beaten with a staff, or stick; used as food for camels: and leaves that have been beaten off with staves, or sticks, then dried, and ground, and mixed with flour or other substance, and beaten with the hand, and moistened in a basin, with water, until they have become viscous, or cohesive, when they are put into the mouths of camels. The word is of the measure فَعَلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, like many other instances that have been heard, as نَفَضٌ and هَدَمٌ.
