Full Definition
شِبِثٌّ
[erroneously written in some copies of the K شِبْثٌ, and in the L شِبِثٌ,] A certain wellknown plant; a certain herb, or leguminous plant; [i. q.
شِبِتٌّ and سِبِتٌّ, q. v.; i. e. anethum graveolens, or dill, of the common garden-species:] Sgh says that شبث is a foreign word of which سِبِتٌّ is an arabicized form; and it is made of the measure فِعِلٌّ because this measure has many examples; whereas the measure فِعِلٌّ, of which إِبِلٌ is an instance, is extraordinary.
