مَعْذُورٌ ذ Excused; freed, cleared, or exempted, from blame; exculpated. (Msb.) ― -b2- And [hence, perhaps,] مَعْذُورَةٌ applied to a woman signifies مُسْتَحَاضَةٌ [q. v. in art. حيض]: and sometimes one says ↓ عَاذِرَةٌ ; as meaning having an excuse: (Msb:) the latter is said to be used in the sense of مُسْتَحَاضَةٌ; but it requires consideration; (O, TA;) as though it were of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ in the sense of مَفْعُولَةٌ, [i. e. in the sense of مَعْذُورَةٌ as meaning excused,] from إِِقَامَةُ العُذْرِ. (TA.) ― -b3- [Golius assigns to مَعْذُورٌ the meaning of “ Voti impos; ” as on the authority of the KL; in which, however, I do not find it.] -A2- Also (tropical:) Circumcised. (S, A, O, Msb.) -A3- And A camel branded with the mark called عِذَار. (TA.) -A4- And [A child] affected with the pain, of the fauces, termed عُذْرَة. (S, O, K.)
