Full Definition

مَغْزَرَةٌ , (as written in the L, [and so agreeably with analogy, as meaning A cause of abounding in milk; similar to مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ &c.;]) or مُغْزِرَةٌ, a thing [from the feeding of a beast] upon which the milk becomes abundant.
2 And, hence, A certain plant, the leaves of which are like those of the حُرْف [q. v.], dust-coloured, and small, and which has a red blossom, like that of the pomegranate: it pleases the cows much, and they become abundant in milk [by feeding] upon it: it is of the [season called] رَبِيع; and is mentioned by AHn, who says that all cattle pasture upon it.
