Core sense — land in which there is no herbagegenerated

1land in which there is no herbage—جُرْزٌ

Also جَرَزٌ, جَرْزٌ, and مَجْرُوزَةٌ.

As though the herbage, or the rain, were cut off from it; or the water is cut off from it, so that it is dried up and without herbage; or it is dried up and produces no herbage; or its herbage has been cut; or it produces no herbage; or its herbage has been eaten.

By one account this last meaning belongs to the last word only.

Or: land not rained upon. Some interpreters of the Qurʾān say that by the first is meant the land of El-Yemen; and El-ʿOtbee says that by the second is meant [land] that takes in much water and does not dry it up.

As to جَرْزٌ, it may be a maṣdar used as an adjective, as though meaning ذَاتُ جَرْزٍ, that is, land whose herbage has been eaten.

land whose herbage has been consumed by locusts, sheep, goats, camels or the like—أَرْضٌ مَجْرُوزَةٌ
a barren desert—مَفَازَةٌ مِجْرَازٌ

[See also جَارِزٌ.]

The plural of جُرْزٌ is جِرَزَةٌ, as جِحَرَةٌ is plural of جُحْرٌ; and that of جَرَزٌ is أَجْرَازٌ, as أَسْبَابٌ is plural of سَبَبٌ. One says also أَرْضٌ أَجْرَازٌ as well as أَرَضُونَ أَجْرَازٌ.
