مَعْبُولٌ [pass. part. n. of عَبَلَهُ; as such, Cut, &c.:
2 and] Repelled: thus in the following verse, cited by IAar: هَا إِنَّ رَمْيِى عَنْهُمُ لَمَعْبُولْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَصْقُولْ [Now verily my shooting in defence of them is repelled; so there is no aider to-day but the polished sword]: the speaker was shooting at his enemy, and the shooting availed not at all; so he fought with the sword.
