ضَجِيعٌ

Root: ضجع

Full Definition

ضَجِيعٌ [A bedfellow]. ضَجِيعُكَ means He who lies, or sleeps, with thee; i. q. ; which latter is likewise applied to a female; as also ضَجِيعَةٌ: and you say, هُوَ ضَجِيعُهَا meaning He is he who lies, or sleeps, with her in one innermost garment; and هِىَ ضَجِيعَتُهُ She is she who so lies, or sleeps, with him. And [hence] one says, بِئْسَ الضَّجِيعُ الجُوعُ [Very evil is the bedfellow, hunger].
