مُعَوَّذٌ

Root: عوذ

Full Definition

مُعَوَّذٌ The place of the collar of a horse. [App. so called because it is a place where charms, or amulets, are often suspended.] And المُعَوَّذُ, or دَائِرَةُ المُعَوَّذِ, The feather, or curling portion of the coat of a horse, that is in the place of the collar: it is a دائرة approved.
2 Also, or مُعَوِّذٌ , A she-camel that does not cease to remain in one place. [SM says that the word thus expl. in the K is a mistranscription for معوّد; by which he means مُعَوِّد, part. n. of عَوَّدَ said of a camel; but this I doubt; for مُعَوِّدٌ has not the meaning here assigned to معوّذ.]
3 See also عُوَّذٌ, in four places.
