Full Definition

مُغَارٌّ and مُغَارَّةٌ A she-camel having little milk: or having lost her milk by reason of some accident or disease; as some say, on disliking her young one, and rejecting the milker: or taking fright, and drawing up her milk, after yielding it freely: pl. مَغَارُّ, imperfectly decl. [being originally مَغَارِرُ].
2 Hence, A niggardly, or tenacious, hand: but accord. to the A and the TS, you say رَجُلٌ مُغَارُّ الكَفِّ, meaning a niggardly, or tenacious, man.
