Full Definition
غَيْضَةٌ
A thicket; syn. أَجَمَةٌ; i. e. a collection of tangled, or confused, or dense, trees: or an
أَجَمَة; i. e. a
[q. v.] of water collected together, in which, in consequence thereof, trees grow: or an
أَجَمَة: and a place in which is a collection of trees in a
مَغِيض
of water: or particularly, of [trees of the willow-kind called] غَرَب; not of all trees; accord. to the first Arabs of the desert; but this is at variance with what we find in the poems of the Arabs; for Ru-beh, for instance, makes it to consist of fruit-bearing trees and trees not fruit-bearing, and makes it to be a غَابَة: [see also غَيْنَةٌ:] pl. [of pauc.] أَغْيَاضٌ and [of mult.] غِيَاضٌ and غَيْضَاتٌ: the first of these being formed with disregard of the augmentative [ة]; not being a pl. pl., for this is not so formed: any
غَرَب
in Nejd adjacent to the
غَرَب
of the cultivated lands, when they are collected therein, are termed غِيَاض. [See also غَيْضٌ.]
