خَفُوتٌ

Full Definition

خَفُوتٌ A lean, or an emaciated, woman: or a woman who is scarcely seen distinctly, by reason of leanness, or emaciation: or a woman who is deemed goodly, or beautiful, whom the eye regards as worthy of notice, as long as she is alone, not when she is among other women. You say اِمْرَأَةٌ خَفْوتٌ لَفُوتٌ: لفوت meaning wont to calumniate, or slander. But AM says, I have not heard خفوت as an epithet applied to a woman on any authority but that of Lth.
