مُهَنْدزٌ

Root: هندز

Full Definition

مُهَنْدزٌ One who determines the measures and proportions of subterranean channels for water, and of buildings: [an architect: and also a geometrician:] from هِنْدَازٌ: but they change the ز into س, and say مُهَنْدِسٌ, because there is not in the [genuine] language of the Arabs a ز with a د before it.
