Root: صنج

Full Definition

صَنَّاجٌ A player with [or upon] the صَنْج, meaning [the cymbal, and also] the stringed instrument so called: and in like manner صَنَّاجَةٌ : but this latter has an intensive signification [meaning an excellent player with, or upon, the صنج]: and signifies also a woman having [or playing with] a صَنْج, as in a verse cited voce جَذَا in art. جذو [where it evidently means a female player with cymbals].
