غيض

غَيْضَةٌ ذ A thicket; syn. أَجَمَةٌ; i. e. a collection of tangled, or confused, or dense, trees: (Mgh, Msb:) or an أَجَمَة; i. e. a ↓ مَغِيض [q. v.] of water collected together, in which, in consequence thereof, trees grow: (S:) or an أَجَمَة: and a place in which is a collection of trees in a مَغِيض of water: (K:) or particularly, of [ trees of the willow-kind called ] غَرَب; not of all trees; (AHn, O, K;) accord. to the first Arabs of the desert; but this is at variance with what we find in the poems of the Arabs; for Ru-beh, for instance, makes it to consist of fruit-bearing trees and trees not fruit-bearing, and makes it to be a غَابَة: (AHn, O:) [see also غَيْنَةٌ:] pl. [of pauc.] أَغْيَاضٌ (S, K) and [of mult.] غِيَاضٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and غَيْضَاتٌ: (Msb:) the first of these being formed with disregard of the augmentative [ة]; not being a pl. pl., for this is not so formed: (TA:) any غَرَب in Nejd adjacent to the غَرَب of the cultivated lands, when they are collected therein, are termed غِيَاض. (O, TA.) [See also غَيْضٌ.]
