مُخَدَّمٌ [pass. part. n. of 2, q. v.]. You say قَوْمٌ مُخَدَّمُونَ A people, or party, having many servants and other dependents. And in like manner مُخَدَّمَةٌ is applied to a woman.

2 See also أَخْدَمُ, in two places.

def.3 And مُخَدَّمٌ and مُخَدَّمَةٌ The place of the thong [called خَدَمَة] in the leg of the camel: (TA: [there said to be above the كَعْب; but this is a mistake:]) and the place of the anklet [so called] in the shank of a woman: the place of the خِدَام in the shank: the place of the خَدَمَ; like as مُسَوَّرٌ is the place of the سِوَار. (M in explanation of the former, in art. سور.)
2 And the former The band of the trousers, at the lower part of the leg of a woman: or the band at the lower part of the leg of the trousers: the woman seems to be specified in the K because women generally tic the legs of the trousers upon the middle [or upper part] of the shank, and then make them to fall down over it.
