Full Definition
دَخْدَارٌ
A white, or black, garment, or piece of cloth, which is laid up, or preserved [in a chest, or wardrobe, whence its name]: an arabicized word, originally تَخْتْ دَارْ, which is Persian, and means يُمْسِكُهُ التَّخْتُ, i. e. ذُو تَخْتٍ. [Golius, app. misled by the words اصل تخت دار است, in the KL of Ibn-Maaroof, probably corrupted in the copy of that work used by him, adds to the explanation “ pannus albus ” &c., as from the work above mentioned, “ qui throno Regis Persici quondam insterni solebat: inprimis Darii. ”]
