Full Definition
فَرْوٌ
signifies A certain thing that is worn; as also
فَرْوَةٌ : each of these is a word of well-known meaning: [but the former is properly a coll. gen. n., and
فَرْوَةٌ is its n. un.; agreeably with what here follows:] الفَرْوُ is well known [as being fur]; and
فَرْوَةٌ is the appellation applied when it is [a furred garment] like the
جُبِّة: and signifies also a skin, but not unless having upon it
وَبَر [i. e. fur, or soft hair,] or wool: [in general,] this latter word signifies, and some say the former also, a kind of garment, well known, lined with the skins of various species of animals, the most highly esteemed whereof is the
سَمَّور [or sable], tanned, and sewed together; this garment being worn for preservation from the cold: فِرَآءٌ is the pl. of mult., and the pl. of pauc. is أَفْرٍ: so says Aboo- 'Alee El-Kálee.
