Root: نض

Full Definition

نَصِيضَةٌ A small quantity of rain: or a weak rain: or a weak cloud: or one flowing with water: pl. [of pauc.] أَنِضَّةٌ and [of mult.] نَضَائِضُ.
2 A wind that brings rain. (تَنِضُّ بِالْمَآءِ,) so that it flows: or a weak wind.
3 لقَدٌ تَرَكْثِ الإِبِلُ المَآءَ وَهِىَ ذَاتُ نَضِيضَةٍ, and ذَاتُ نَضَائِضَ, The camels have left the water, having thirst; not having satisfied their thirst.

def.2 The sound of the roasting of flesh-meat upon heated stones: pl. نَضَائِضُ: ISd, however, says, I think that نَضَائضُ is a sing., like خَشَارِمُ; but the sing. may be نَضِيضَةٌ. [It seems to me not improbable that نَضَائِضُ may in a mistranscription, for نَضَائِضُ, pl. of the Verbal.Noun نَضْنَضَةٌ used as a subst.]

def.3 See also نَضِيضٌ.
