Full Definition

مَرِيشٌ , applied to an arrow, Feathered; or having the feathers stuck upon it; as also مُرَيَّشٌ : or having its feathers repaired, or put into a right state: and رَائِشٌ signifies [the same: (see رَاشَ:) or] having feathers; being like دَافِقٌ applied to water [in the sense of ذُو دَفْق]. Hence the saying, مَا لَهُ أَقَذُّ وَ لَا مَرِيشٌ [lit., He has not a featherless arrow nor a feathered one]; meaning, he has not anything.
