مُؤْنِس

Root: انس

Full Definition

مُؤْنِس A name which the Arabs, and the ancients, used to give to Thursday; because on that day they used to incline to places of pleasure; and 'Alee is related to have said that God created Paradise on Thursday, and named it thus.
2 المُؤْنِسَاتُ Weapons: or all weapons: or the spear and the مِغْفَر and the تِجْغَاف and the تَسْبِغَة and the تُرْس and the sword and the helmet: so called because they render their possessor at ease with his adversaries, and secure, or cause him to have a good opinion [of his safety, and thus, cheer him, or solace him, by their presence: see 4].
3 See also بَابُونَجٌ.
