الوسيقة القطيع من الإبل يطردها الشلال، وسميت وسيقة لأن طاردها يجمعها ولا يدعها تنتشر عليه فيلحقها الطلب فيردها، وهذا كما قيل للسائق قابض، لأن السائق إذا ساق قطيعا من الإبل قبضها أي جمعها لئلا يتعذر عليه سوقها، ولأنها إذا انتشرت عليه لم تتتابع ولم تطرد على صوب واحد.

Al-Waseeqah is a herd of camels driven by a pursuer.
