مَأْرُوشٌ

Root: ارش

Full Definition

مَأْرُوشٌ Scratched with the nails, or lacerated, little or much, so as to bleed or not. Ru-beh says, فَقُلْ لِذَاكَ المُزْعَجِ المَحْنُوشِ أَصْبِحٌ فَمَا مِنْ بَشَرٍ مَأْرُوشِ Then say thou to that man who is disquieted by envy, and as though he were stung, Act thou gently, for [there is no scarf-skin scratched; meaning,] my honour is uninjured, having in it no defect nor scratch.
