Full Definition

غَيَايَةٌ The light of the rays of the sun; not the rays themselves: or, as some say, the shade of the sun [i. e. the shade that is cast by the sun] in the morning and in the evening: pl. غَيَايَاتٌ.
2 And Anything that shades a man, over his head, such as a cloud, and dust, and darkness, and the like.
3 And The bottom of a well; like غَيَابَةٌ.
