Full Definition
مَعْرُوقٌ
A bone of which the flesh has been [eaten or] thrown from it.
2 And A man having little flesh; and so مَعْرُوقُ العِظَامِ; and مُعْتَرَقٌ , (S, O, TA, [and probably in correct copies of the K, but in my MS. copy of it and in the CK , which does not accord. with any of the explanations of its verb,]) and العِظَامِ; and مُعَرَّقٌ , and مُعَرَّقُ العِظَامِ. And A horse having no flesh upon his قَصَب [meaning bones of the legs]; as also مُعْتَرَقٌ . And مَعْرُوقُ الخَدَّيْنِ, applied to a horse, in which the quality denoted thereby is approved, Having no flesh in the cheeks: and الخَدَّيْنِ a man having little flesh in the cheeks: and القَدَمَيْنِ, (K and TA in art. نهس,) and الكَعْبَيْنِ, a man having little flesh upon the feet, and upon the ankle-bones: and مُعَرَّقٌ applied to a horse signifies مُضَمَّرٌ [i. e. rendered lean, or light of flesh, probably by being made to sweat, agreeably with an explanation of the latter epithet, and thus radically differing from مَعْرُوقٌ and مُعْتَرَقٌ].
def.2 See also مُعْرَقٌ.
def.3 And see عَرِيقٌ.
