مَشِيعٌ

Full Definition

مَشِيعٌ Filled; applied to a vessel.
2 [Hence,] Very rancorous, malevolent, malicious, or spiteful; filled with baseness, meanness, or sordidness. (K, TA. [In the CK, erroneously said to be, in this sense, مِشْيَع, like مَكْيَل; instead of مَشِيع, like مَكِيل.]) Hence also, هُوَ ضَبٌّ مَشِيعٌ He is [like a lizard of the kind called ضبّ that is] very rancorous, &c. IAar says, I heard Abu-l-Mekárim revile a man, saying, هُوَ خَبٌّ مَشِيعٌ, [perhaps correctly ضَبٌّ, but see this word, which is used as a syn. sequent to خَبٌّ,] meaning He is like a ضَبّ that is very rancorous, &c., and unprofitable; مَشِيعٌ, here, being with fet-h to the م; from شِعْتُهُ “ I filled it. ”
