مَدِيصٌ

[apparently A place where a person, or thing, declines; or turns aside, or from the right course or direction: a meaning which seems to be indicated in the S and TA]. A rájiz says,

إِنَّ الجَوَادَ قَدْ رَأَى وَبِيصَهَا

فَأَيْنَمَا دَاصَتْ يَدِصْ مَدِيصَهَا

[Verily the courser has seen its glistening; and wheresoever it turns aside, he turns aside at its place of turning aside]. (S, TA.)
