أَرْدَاج:
[As though they were clad in trousers of ارندج]: (K:) according to A' Obeyd, originally Pers., (S,) arabicized, (K,) from رَنْدَهْ: (S, K:) one should not say رَنْدَجٌ: (ISk, S:) according to Lh, i. q. دَارِشٌ: or, he adds, as some say, a skin [or leather] different from that termed دارش: or i. q. زَاجٌ, with which one blackens. (TA. [See what follows.]) With respect to these words of a poet, describing a woman as ignorant, or inexperienced,كَأَنَّمَا سُرْوِلْنَ فِى الأَرْدَاجِ
[She knew not what is the weaving of يرندج before it], it is said that he imagined يرندج to be woven, or that he meant that this woman, by reason of her ignorance, or inexperience, imagined it to be so. (TA.)قَبْلَهَا لَمْ تَدْرِ مَا نَسْجُ اليَرَنْدَجِ
