مُكْتَنِزُ

Root: كنز

Full Definition

مُكْتَنِزُ , and , and , and , Compact, or hard, in flesh: and [in like manner] كِنَازٌ compact and strong in flesh. You say, نَاقَةٌ كِنَازٌ, or كِنَازُ اللَّحْمِ, and جَارِيَةٌِ كِنَازٌ, and هَنٌ كِنَازٌ, A she-camel, and a girl, and a woman's pudendum, compact, (مُكْتَنِزَة, S, or كَنِيزَة, or, as in the K, abundant, كَثِيرَة, TA,) in flesh, and hard, or firm: pl. كُنْزٌ and كِنَازٌ; the latter being like the sing.; but the two vowels [namely the two kesrehs] and the two alifs are regarded as different; for the word is not, as some assert, of the same class as جُنُبٌ, since it has a dual form, namely كِنَازَانِ.
2 كِتَابٌ مُكْتَنِزٌ بِالفَوَائِدِ [A book, or writing, stored with useful things].
