Full Definition
خِزَانَةٌ
A small chamber within a large chamber; (TA in art. خدع;) [a closet; also called in the present day
خَزْنَةٌ : and a cupboard:] a place in which things are reposited, stowed, laid up, kept, preserved, or guarded; a repository; [a magazine; a store-room;] and so
مَخْزَنٌ , with fet-h to the ز, like مَقْعَدٌ, or
, like مَجْلِسٌ, [which is irreg., as the Present.T of خَزَنَ is يَخْزُنُ:] the former should not be pronounced with fet-h [i. e. خَزَانَة], as the vulgar are given to pronounce it: the pl. of the former is خَزَائِنُ; and that of مخزن is مَخَازِنُ. [Hence, خِزَانَةُ كُتُبٍ
A library; and a bookcase. And خِزَانَةُ سِلَاحٍ
An armoury.]
