Root: زور

Full Definition

زِوَارٌ and زِيَارٌ A rope, or cord, which is put between the camel's fore-girth and kind-girth, to prevent the kindgirth from hurting the animal's ثِيل, and so causing a suppression of the urine: pl. أَزْوِرَةٌ. In a trad., Ed-Dejjál is described as bound with أَزْوِرَة; meaning, having his arms bound together upon his breast.
2 Also, both words, Anything that is a [means of] rectification to another thing, and a defence, or protection; like the زِيَار of a beast.
