مَنْبِتٌ

1.
(tropical:) Origin, or race, [from which a man springs;] synonym أَصْلٌ. (L.) So in the phrase إِنَّهُ لَفِى مَنْبِتِ صِدْقٍ (tropical:) Verily he belongs to an excellent race; is of an excellent origin]: and so in the phrase فِى أَكْرَمِ المَنَابِتِ [of the most generous of origins, or races.] (TA.)
2.
مَنْبِتٌ A place in which plants, or herbs, grow: (S, K:) dev. from the constant course of speech: analogically it should be مَنْبَتٌ: (K:) as the aorist of the verb from which it is derived is not يَنْبِتُ, with kesreh: but there are other examples like it; as مَسجِدٌ and مَطْلِعٌ &c.: مَنْبَتٌ, however, also sometimes occurs. (TA.) [Pl. مَنَابِتُ.]
