Full Definition
فَارِعَةٌ
The higher, or highest, part of a mountain [and of a valley]: one says, اِنْزِلْ بِفَارِعَةِ الوَادِى
وَٱحْذَرْ أَسْفَلَهُ [Alight thou in the higher, or highest, part of the valley, and beware of its lower, or lowest, part]. See also فَرْعَةٌ, in two places.
2 الفَارِعَةُ مِنَ الغَنَائِمِ means The surplus that is deducted [so I render المُرْتَفِعَةُ الصَّاعِدَةُ, app. such things as cannot be divided and are therefore removed,] from the main stock of the spoils before they are divided into fifths.
3 And فَوَارِعٌ, (pl. of فَارِعَةٌ, TA,) applied to تِلَاع, [a word variously explained, here, I think, used as signifying either high, or low, grounds, (see its sing. تَلْعَةٌ,)] means Of which the channels wherein the torrents flow are in high, or elevated, parts.
