Full Definition
فُرُوعُ
means The most intense degree of heat: [or rather الفُرُوعُ is a name of a certain asterism of
الجَوْزَآءُ at the season of the auroral rising of which the heat becomes most intense:] Aboo-Khirásh says,
[And a day continued to them, the heat whereof was as though it were the blazing of fire, from the asterism of the فُرُوعِ; a long day]: in the S, وَظَلَّ لَنَا; but correctly لَهَا, meaning to the she-asses: and Aboo-Sa'eed related it as above with the unpointed ع in الفروع: in the same manner, also, it is expl. by him as used in the phrase فَيْحُ نَجْمِ الفُرُوعِ [which I would render the vehement raging of the heat of the asterism of the فروع] in a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abee-'Áïdh: El-Jumahee related it differently, with غ; but the فُرُوغ [or rather the فَرْغَانِ] are of the stars of Aquarius; and the season thereof [i. e. of their auroral rising] is cold; there is then no فيح.وَظَلَّ لَهَا يَوْمٌ كَأَنَّ أُوَارَهُ ذَكَا النَّارِ مِنْ نَجْمِ الفُرُوعِ طَوِيلُ
