حَكِرٌ حكر One who withholds a thing, and keeps it to himself: (A:) one who withholds (K, TA) [or collects and withholds] wheat, and the like, of what is eaten, (TA,) in expectation of dearness: (K, TA:) one who ceases not to withhold his merchandise when the market is full of people and of goods for sale, that it may be sold for much [بِالكَثِيرِ: in the L and K بالكسر, which is evidently a mistranscription]. (L, TA.) ― -b2- See also 1, in two places.
