حرم

حِرْمِىٌّ حرم حرمى حرمة حرمي حرميي , applied to a man, Of, or belonging to, the حَرَم: fem. حِرْمِيَّةٌ. (S, Msb, TA.) [In the TA it is said that Mbr mentions two forms of the epithet حرميّة as applied to a woman: it does not specify what these are; but one seems to be حُرْمِيَّةٌ, for he says that it is from the phrase وَ حُرْمَةِ البَيْتِ “ by the sacredness of the House ” of God.] Az says, on the authority of Lth, that when they applied the rel. n. from الحَرَمُ to anything not a human being, [as, for instance, to a garment, or piece of cloth,] they said ↓ ثَوْبٌ حَرَمِىٌّ: (Msb:) [but] they also said حِرْمِيَّةٌ, (S,) or سِهَامٌ حِرْمِيَّةٌ, (Msb,) meaning Arrows of the حَرَم: (S, Msb:) and حِرْمِيَّةٌ [also, or قَوْسٌ حِرْمِيَّةٌ,] meaning A bow made of a tree of the حَرَم. (Ham p. 284.) ― -b2- Also A man of the حَرَم whose food was eaten by a pilgrim, and in whose clothes this pilgrim performed his circuiting round the Kaábeh: and a pilgrim who ate the food of a man of the حَرَم, and performed his circuiting round the Kaábeh in this man's clothes: each of these was called the حِرْمِىّ of the other: every one of the chiefs of the Arabs who imposed upon himself hardship, or strictness, in his religious practices had a حرمىّ of the tribe of Kureysh; and when he performed the pilgrimage, would not eat any food but that of this man, nor perform his circuiting round the Kaabeh except in this man's clothes.
