ذَعُورٌ ذ : see مَذْعُورٌ. ― -b2- Also, [without ة,] A woman who becomes frightened at a thing that induces suspicion, or evil opinion, (S, A, Msb, K,) and at foul language. (K, TA: or, accord. to the CK and a MS. copy of the K, “ foul language ” is a distinct signification of the word.) A poet says, “ تَنُولَ بِمَعْرُفِ الحَدِيثِ وَ إِِنْ تُرِدْ
سِوَى ذَاكَ تُذْعَرْ مِنْكَ وَهْىَ ذَعُورُ
