Full Definition

فِرْشَاحٌ A broad, or wide, land: accord. to the K, syn. with فِرْسَاحٌ; but Sh says that the latter is a mistranscription; the former being the correct word, from فَرْشَحَ فِى جِلْسَتِهِ: and Az mentions the latter as from the Jm, but not found by him as on trustworthy authority. (TA in art. فرسح.)
2 And A spreading, or wide, solid hoof.
3 And Clouds (سَحَاب) in which is no rain.
4 And An unseemly, or ugly, and old, woman, and she-camel.
