Root: عرص

Full Definition

مُعَرَّصٌ Flesh-meat laid in the عَرْصَة [q. v.] to dry: or cut in pieces: or laid in, or upon, the live coals, so that it becomes mixed with the ashes and not well and thoroughly cooked: Az says that this last explanation, the like of which has also been given on the authority of ISk, is more pleasing to him than that of Fr. [See also مُعَرَّضٌ, with ض.]

def.2 Also A camel whose back has become submissive, but not his head: because they used [sometimes] to ride without bridling.
