Full Definition
لَوْزٌ
[The almond; or almonds;] the fruit of a certain tree; well known; abundant in the countries of the Arabs; said by some to be a species of
مِزْج, which is that whereof the edible part is not attained save by breaking; by others said to be bruised, or brayed,
مِزْج; and also called قُمْرُوصٌ: it is of two kinds, sweet and bitter: the sweet is of moderate temperature, beneficial to the chest and the lungs and the bladder, and the eating thereof, shelled, with sugar, augments the marrow and brain, and fattens: the bitter is hot in the third degree, opens stoppages of the nose, clears away [the spots in the skin called] نَمَش, and stills pain, when it [app. meaning its oil] is drunk, and when dropped into the ear; and it relaxes the bowels, and causes sleep, when the soles of the feet are anointed with it, and when it is introduced into the nose; and it is diuretic: it is an Arabic word: a coll. gen. n.: n. un. with ة.
