Full Definition
عَدَسَةٌ
A small pustule, resembling the
عَدَسة [commonly so called, i. e. the single grain of lentil], which comes forth in the body in a man, dispersedly, like the
طَاعُون [or plague], of which it is said to be a kind, and kills, or sometimes kills, or generally kills, few recovering from it: it was feared by the tribe of Kureysh, as being transitive.
