مَنُوطٌ

Full Definition

مَنُوطٌ Suspended; hung. You say, هٰذَا مَنُوطٌ بِهِ This is suspended, or hung, to him, or it.
2 [Hence the saying,] هٰذَا رَجُلٌ مَنُوطٌ بِالقَوْمِ This is a man adventive to the people; one who has introduced himself among them, and lives among them, not being of their race: or i. q. دَعِىٌّ [one whose origin, or lineage, is suspected; &c.]: and مَنُوطٌ مُذَبْذِبٌ is also applied to a person of this latter description who betakes himself to a people; the latter epithet being added to denote that he knows not to whom to assert himself related, like the wind wavering to the right and left. See also تَنْوَاطٌ.]
