Full Definition
مَثْلُوثٌ
Property of which a third part has been taken.
2 [Applied to a verse,] That of which a third has been taken away: whatever is مَثْلُوث is مَنْهُوك: or the former word signifies as above, and the latter signifies that of which two thirds have been taken away: this is the opinion of the authors on versification with respect to the metres called رَجَز and مُنْسَرِح: the مثلوث in poetry is that whereof two feet out of six have gone.
3 A rope composed of three strands twisted together, and in like manner woven, or plaited: and ropes composed of four, five, six, seven, and nine, strands, but not of eight nor of ten, are similarly called.
4 A garment of the kind called كِسَآء woven of wool and camels' hair (وَبَر) and goats' hair (شَعَر).
5 مَزَادَةٌ مَثْلَوثَةٌ A مزادة [or leathern water-bag] made of three skins.
6 أَرْضٌ مَثْلُوثَةٌ Land turned over three times for sowing or cultivating.
7 See also ثَلُوثٌ.
