Classical Arabic - English Dictionary

دَخْدَرَ He gilded an earring: (Ḳ:) from the noun following. (TA.)

دَخْدَارٌ A white, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or black, (Ḳ,) garment, or piece of cloth, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) which is laid up, or preserved [in a chest, or wardrobe, whence its name]: (Ṣ:) an arabicized word, originally تَخْتْ دَارْ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) which is Persian, and means يُمْسِكُهُ التَّخْتُ, i. e. ذُو تَخْتٍ. (Ṣ.) [Golius, app. misled by the words اصل تخت دار است, in the KL of Ibn-Maạroof, probably corrupted in the copy of that work used by him, adds to the explanation “pannus albus”, &c., as from the work above mentioned, “qui throno Regis Persici quondam insterni solebat: inprimis Darii.”]

Also Gold; (Ḳ;) because preserved in chests. (TA.)
