مَسَاحٌ ذ or مَسَاحَةٌ, the latter of the measure مَفْعَلَةٌ, from السِّيَاحَةُ, [each app. meaning (assumed tropical:) A place of سِيَاحَة, or journeying,] is sing. of مَسَايِحُ, in which the ى is like that in مَعَايِشُ, as in other similar words of which the medial radical is an infirm letter, except مَصَائِبُ, by rule مَصَاوِبُ. (Har p. 15.) ― -b2- [The pl. مَسَايِحُ is also expl. by Freytag as applied in the Deewán of Jereer to (assumed tropical:) The part of the head between the temples as far as the forehead (where the hairs are).]
