مُضَهَّبٌ

Root: ضهب

Full Definition

مُضَهَّبٌ Flesh-meat roasted, but not thoroughly cooked: accord. to El-Mufaddal, flesh-meat cut in pieces; and thus in the K; but IF says that this is nought, unless it be cut in pieces roasted: it is at variance with what is said by the leading authorities, for they say that it means flesh-meat roasted upon heated stones: or roasted upon the fire, but not thoroughly cooked: or cooked in a fryingpan. (TA in art. عرص.) Imra-el-Keys says, نَمُشُّ بِأَعْرَافِ الجِيَادِ أَكُفَّنَا إِذَا نَحْنُ قُمْنَا عَنْ شِوَآءٍ مُضَهَّبِ [We wipe our hands with the manes of the swift horses when we rise from eating roast meat not thoroughly cooked].
