Root entry · 1 derived lemma

أَمْرَطُ ذ A man having little, or scanty, or thin, hair upon the sides of his face, or of his cheeks; (S;) or upon his body, and eyebrow, and eye, in consequence of a weakness of this last, and of frequent shedding of tears; (K, TA;) [in the CK, the word شعر is omitted in this explanation;]) or upon his body and breast; when all the hair has gone, he is said to be أَمْلَطُ: (TA:) pl. مُرْطٌ and مِرَطَةٌ; (K;) the former regular; the latter, extr., and thought by ISd to be a quasi-pl. n. (TA.) [The fem.] مَرْطَاآءُ signifies A woman having no hair upon her pubes and what is next to it. (IDrd.) You say also هِىَ مَرْطَاآءُ الحَاجِبَيْنِ She has little, or scanty, or thin, hair in the eyebrows: the mention of the eyebrows being indispensable. (TA.) And حَاجِبٌ أَمْرَط An eyebrow of which most of the hair has fallen off. (Mgh.) See also أَطْرَطُ. ― -b2- A wolf of which some of the hair has fallen off; (Az, TA;) or whose hair has been plucked out. (K.) ― -b3- And hence, as being likened thereto, (Az, TA,) (tropical:) A thief, or robber; (As, AA, T, S, K;) as also عُمْرُوطٌ. (As, T.) ― -b4- An arrow of which the feathers have fallen off: (S:) or an arrow having no feathers; (K;) as also ↓ مَرِيطٌ and ↓ مِرَاطٌ (K) and ↓ مَارِطٌ (L, TA) and ↓ مُرُطٌ, (S, K,) as in the phrase مُرُطُ القِذَاذِ, in a verse [cited voce مَصْنَعٌ, wrongly asserted to be] of Lebeed, though we may read مُرْط, which is pl. of أَمْرَطُ, as this may be correctly applied as an epithet to the sing. because of the pl. which follows it: (S:) the pl. of ↓ مارط is مُرَّطُ and مَوَارِطُ; (L, TA;) and the pl. of ↓ مُرُطٌ is أَمْرَاطٌ [a pl. of pauc.] (K, TA) and مِرَاطٌ. (S, K.) ― -b5- شَجَرَةٌ مَرْطَاآءُ (assumed tropical:) A tree having no leaves upon it. (TA.)
