Full Definition

مَسْلُولٌ : see سَلِيلٌ.
2 [Hence, elliptically,] A man whose testicles have been extracted.

def.2 Also Affected with the disease termed سِلّ: [regularly derived from سُلَّ, but] anomalous [as derived from أَسَلَّهُ]: Sb says, as though the سِلّ were put into him.

def.3 AA says that the مَسْلُولَة of غَنَم [meaning sheep or goats, i. e., applied to a شَاة, meaning a sheep or goat, or a ewe or she-goat,] is One whose powers, or forces, are of long continuance (اَلَّتِى يَطُولُ قُوَاهَا): and that one says [of such] فِى فِيهَا سَلَّةٌ [in which phrase فى seems evidently to have been preposed by mistake: see سَلَّةٌ].
