مَتْعَبَةٌ متعب متعبه متعبة [A cause of fatigue or weariness: a word of the same class as مَجْبَنَةٌ and مَبْخَلَةٌ: loosely explained in Har p. 475 as meaning a place of fatigue]. One says, اِسْتِخْرَاجُ المُعَمَّى مَتْعَبَةٌ لِلْخَوَاطِرِ [The eliciting of the meaning of that which is made enigmatical is a cause of fatigue to minds]. (A.)
