Root: وضن

Full Definition

وَضِينٌ A girth (بِطَان) wide, woven of thongs or hair, or only of skin; said to be adapted for the رَحْل and the هَوْدَج; the بِطَان being peculiarly for the قَتَب: or it is for the هَوْدَج, like the بِطَان for the قَتَب and the تَصْدِير for the رَحْل and the حِزَام for the سَرْج; and both [but to what this refers is doubtful] are like the نِسْع, except that they are of thongs woven one upon another, doubly or more.
