طِرَازٌ

Root: طرز

Full Definition

طِرَازٌ The embroidery, or variegated or figured work, (عَلَم,) of a garment, or piece of cloth: a Pers. word, arabicized: said to be originally تِرْزْ, meaning, in Pers., “ even measurement: ” [or originally طِرَازْ, which has the same meaning in Pers. as the arabicized form has in Arabic:] pl. طُرُزٌ.
2 And A garment, or piece of cloth, woven for the Sultán: also arabicized [from the Pers. طِرَازْ, meaning, a royal robe, or rich embroidered garment]: and one also says, ثَوْبٌ طِرَازِىٌّ : or this last is so called from a place named طِرَاز.
3 And A place in which goodly garments or cloths are woven: and this also is arabicized [from the Pers. طِرَازْ, which has the same meaning]. You say, عُمِلَ هٰذَا الثَّوْبُ فِى طِرَازِ فُلَانٍ This garment, or piece of cloth, was made in such a one's place for weaving goodly garments or cloths. And هُوَ مَا عُمِلَ فِى طِرَازِ ٱللّٰهِ [It is what has been made in God's place of creation of goodly things]: said of a beautiful face. And هٰذَا الكَلَامُ الحَسَنُ مِنْ طِرَازِ فُلَانٍ [This beautiful language is of the elegant composition of such a one]. And هُوَ مِنَ الطِّرَازِ الأَوَّلِ [app. He is of the first noble extraction]. (A, TA. [See also طَرْزٌ.]) And one says of a man, when he utters a good thing of his own excogitation, هٰذَا مِنْ طِرَازِهِ [This is of his clever excogitation]. And in like manner is expl. the phrase, in a trad., لَيْسَ هٰذَا مِنْ طِرَازِكِ This is not of thine own authorship and excogitation.
4 See also طَرْزٌ, in four places.
