Root: رشن

Full Definition

رَاشِنٌ i. q. طُفَيْلِىٌّ; i. e. One who comes to a feast uninvited thereto: he who watches for the time of food, and then goes in to the party when they are eating, is termed وَارِشٌ.
2 And One who eats all that is upon the table of food; syn. مِقَمٌّ: in the K, المُقِيمُ is erroneously put for المِقَمُّ.

def.2 Also A small gift to the pupil of the صَائِغ [or goldsmith]; in Pers, called شاكردانه [correctly شَاكِرْدَانَهْ]. (K. [ما يُرْضَحُ in the CK is a mistake for ما يُرْضَخُ.])
