خُرْسٌ

Food that is prepared on the occasion of the birth of a child; (S, A, Msb, K;) as also ↓ خِرَاسٌ. (Lh, TA.) IJ seems to assign to it also the sense of خُرْسَةٌ. (TA.)

Hence, as also ↓ the second word, A feast, or banquet, that is prepared on that occasion, and to which people are invited: so in a tradition of Hassán, كَانَ إِذَا دُعِىَ إِلَى طَعَامٍ قَالَ إِلَى عُرْسٍ أَمْ خُرْسٍ أَمْ إِعْذَارٍ [He used, when he was invited to food, to say, To a weddingfeast, or a feast for child-birth, or a circumcisionfeast?]; and if it were for one of these, he consented: but if not, he did not consent. (TA.)
