(TA: [but the last I think a mistake for سِرَاد.])

[Hence,] one says, هُوَ ابْنُ مِسْرَدٍ, (K,) or هُوَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مِسْرَدٍ, (A,) (tropical:) He is the son of a female slave: (A, K:) because she is a sewer of skins, or leather: (A:) an expression of vituperation. (K.)

[Hence, likewise,] مِسْرَدٌ also signifies (tropical:) The tongue. (M, A.) So in the saying, فُلَانٌ يَخْرِقُ الأَعْرَاضَ بِمِسْرَدِهِ (tropical:) [Such a one wounds reputations with his tongue]. (A.)
