زَفَرٌ

1.
A prop of a tree. (K, TA.)
2.
[In modern Arabic, it means Grease, greasy food, or flesh-meat: apparently from the Pers. زَفَرْ or زَفْر, signifying “ filth: ” and hence, obscenity. Hence also the vulgar epithet زِفِر (apparently for زَفِرٌ), meaning Greasy: and foul, or filthy: and obscene. See 5.]
