شذب

مُشَذَّبٌ ذ A palm-trunk pared (S, O, TA) of its prickles (TA) [or of the stumps of its branches or of its lower branches: see the verb of which it is the pass. part. n.]. ― -b2- (tropical:) Tall; (S, A;) as also ↓ شَوْذَبٌ; (S;) the former as an epithet applied to a horse, (S, A,) from the same epithet as applied to a palm-trunk: (A:) and (assumed tropical:) tall, and goodly in make; (A, K;) and so ↓ شَوْذَبٌ; (Mgh, K;) as though pruned: (Mgh:) and ↓ the latter, applied to anything [meaning any animal], (assumed tropical:) tall, and excellent or of high breed or strong and light and swift: A 'Obeyd says that the former signifies (assumed tropical:) excessively tall, and is applied in this sense to anything [i. e. a man and any animal]: Kt says, after explaining شَذَّبْتُ المَالَ as it has been expl. above, that he who is excessively tall is as though his frame were disconnected, and not compact; and therefore he is thus termed: but IAmb says that Kt has made a mistake in asserting that this epithet signifies (assumed tropical:) tall, conspicuous for tallness, and that it is from the palm-tree from which the branches have been lopped off, (in consequence of which, as is said in the Fáïk, it becomes taller, MF, TA,) and that he who is (assumed tropical:) conspicuous for tallness is not thus called unless somewhat deficient in flesh: it is applied to a horse as meaning (tropical:) tall, and not very fleshy.
