Full Definition

مُطْبِقٌ Covering.
2 Hence, جُنُونٌ مُطْبِقٌ Insanity that covers [i. e. veils, or wholly obscures,] the reason, or intellect.
3 حُمَّى مُطْبِقَةٌ A continual fever, not quitting night nor day.
4 مُطْبِقَةٌ [for سَنَةٌ مُطْبِقَةٌ] means A hard, or severe, year. And مُطْبِقَاتٌ means Calamities [like بَنَاتُ طَبَقٍ].
5 And مُطْبِقٌ may have the same meaning as مُطْبَقٌ .
6 It signifies also A subterranean prison; or a place of confinement beneath the ground. (TA. [The word in this sense, which is probably postclassical, is there said to be like مُحْسِنٌ; but perhaps only because of its having been found written مُطْبِقٌ; for I think that I have heard مَطْبَقٌ used in this sense; and I find an apparent authority for this in a copy of the M in arts. اصد and وصد, where الإِصَادُ and الوِصَادُ are expl. as meaning المَطْبَقُ: and likewise in the TA in art. عن, where I find مَطْبَق, thus written; see 2 in that art.: it seems also that طِبَاقٌ may have the same signification; for I find الإِصَادُ expl. as meaning الطِّبَاقُ in the K in art. اصد; and thus in the O in art. وصد, and likewise الوِصَادُ.])
