Full Definition
دِرِّىْءٌ
, like خِمِّيرٌ and سِكِّيرٌ or سِكِّينٌ, from دَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا فُلَانٌ; and
دُرِّىْءٌ , the only instance of the measure فُعِّيلٌ except مُرِّيقٌ; [which latter word has been mistaken by Golius and Freytag for a noun qualified by the epithet درّىء;] but A'Obeyd says that when it is pronounced with the first letter madmoomeh it is دُرِّىٌّ, without ء, a rel. n. from دُرٌّ, of the measure فُعْلِىٌّ, [and the like is said in the K, though دُرِّىْءٌ is also there mentioned as correct,] because there is not [to his knowledge] in the language of the Arabs any word of the measure فُعِّيلٌ; and that he who pronounces it [دُرِّىْءٌ] with ء means that it is [originally of the measure] فُعُّولٌ, like سُبُّوحٌ, and that one of its vowels is changed to kesr because it is deemed difficult of pronunciation; and Akh mentions also
دَرِّىْءٌ , with ء, of the measure فَعِّيلٌ, with fet-h to the first letter, on the authority of Katádeh and AA;
