فَظِيظٌ

Root: فظ

Full Definition

فَظِيظٌ The seminal fluid of a woman: or of a stallion: so they assert: but it is not of established authority: and so say IDrd and Fr: accord. to Kr, the seminal fluid of a stallion, in a she-camel's womb: or this is the explanation given by Fr: and فُظَاظَةٌ is of the measure فُعَالَةٌ from this word; as signifying the seminal fluid of a stallion, or the water of the stomach; but El-Khattábee disallows the latter meaning; or from فَظٌّ: and hence the saying of 'Áïsheh to Marwán, وَلٰكِنَّ ٱللّٰهَ لَعَنَ أَبَاكَ وَأَنْتَ فِى صُلْبِهِ فَأَنْتَ فُظَاظَةٌ مِنْ لَعْنَةِ ٱللّٰهِ [But God cursed thy father when thou wast essentially in his loins; so thou art seed of the object of the curse of God]; i. e., نُطْفَةٌ مِنْهَا; or عُصَارَةٌ مِنْهَا [produce thereof, as though expressed therefrom]: or, accord. to one relation, فُضُضٌ; pl. of فَضِيضٌ, which means water such as is termed غَرِيض: or, accord. to another relation, فَضَضٌ, meaning نُطْفَةٌ: and accord. to another, فَضِيضٌ.

def.2 See also فَظٌّ.
