مِطْرَحٌ

Root: طرح

Full Definition

مِطْرَحٌ I. q. مِفْرَشٌ [q. v.: and طَرَّاحَةٌ has the same, or a similar, meaning; applied in the present day to a horse-cloth, and the like; and to a mattress]: pl. مَطَارِحُ.
2 فَحْلٌ مِطْرَحٌ A stallion that sends his semen far into the womb; like طَرُوحٌ . And طَرْفٌ مِطْرَحٌ An eye that sees far; as also طَرِيحٌ . And رُمْحٌ مِطْرَحٌ A long spear. And إِبِلٌ مَطَارِحُ Quick, or swift, camels.
3 [مِطْرَحٌ, as stated by Freytag, is also expl. by Reiske as meaning Camela in cujus ventrem aqua profunda cadit: but this explanation may have originated from a doubtful instance of the same epithet applied to a stallion camel: see above.]
