دَمِيغٌ

Root: دمغ

Full Definition

دَمِيغٌ and Having his head broken so that the wound reaches the دِمَاغ [or brain]: the former is likewise applied to a woman: and the pl., applied to men and to women, is دَمْغَى.
2 Also, both words, Stupid; foolish; or unsound, or dull, or deficient, in intellect: مُدَمَّغٌ is incorrectly used by the vulgar in this sense; as though meaning overcome, so as to be subdued, or abased, by the devil: it is said in the “Námoos” that this last word may be correct as having an intensive signification; but it may admit of such a signification, and yet may be incorrect, not heard from persons of chaste speech.
