Core sense — what has become clear, of cooked butter, clarified with dates or mealgenerated
1figurative · مجاز — inferredwhat has become clear, of cooked butter—خِلَاصَتُهُ
Or cooked butter into which some dates have been thrown, or into which some سَوِيق [i.e. meal of parched barley or wheat] has been thrown, so that it becomes clear of the remains of the milk.
For when they cook fresh butter, to make it سَمْن, they throw into it some سويق, or dates, or globules of gazelles' dung; and when it becomes good, and clear of the dregs, that سمن is called الخُلَاصَةُ, and الخِلَاصُ also, mentioned by A'Obeyd; and this, namely the خِلَاص, is the إِثْر.
The terms خُلُوصٌ, قِلْدَةٌ, قِشْدَةٌ and كُدَادَةٌ are applied to the dregs, or sediment, remaining at the bottom; as also خُلَاصَةٌ.
The maṣdar is إِخْلَاصٌ, and one says أَخْلَصْتُ السَّمْنَ, or خُلَاصَةٌ.
خِلَاصٌ means dates and سويق that are thrown into سمن.
he threw dates and سويق into the سمن [and so clarified it]—اخلص السَّمْنَ
خُلَاصٌ [thus I find it written] means what has become clear, of سمن, when it is cooked.
خِلَاصٌ, and also إِخْلَاصٌ and أِخْلَاصَةٌ, mean butter when clear of the dregs, or sediment.
خُلُوصٌ is the dregs, or sediment, at the bottom of the milk.
إِخْلَاصٌ and إِخْلَاصَةٌ mean the same as إِذْوَابٌ and إِذْوَابَةٌ.
AZ: the latter two terms are applied to butter when it is put into the cooking-pot to be cooked into سمن; and when it has become good, and the milk has become clear of the dregs, that milk is called إِثْرٌ and إِخْلَاضٌ.
Az says: I have heard the Arabs apply the term خِلَاصٌ to that with which سمن is cleared, in the cooking-pot, from the water and milk and dregs; for when it is not clear, and the milk is mixed with the butter, they take dates, or flour, or سويق, which they throw in, so that the سمن may become clear of the remains of the milk mixed with it. This is the خِلَاص; but the خلاصة [i.e. خُلَاصَة] is what remains, of the خِلَاص and dregs or milk and the like, in the bottom of the cooking-pot.
Or خِلَاصٌ [according to some, خَلَاصٌ, but this is apparently wrong,] and خُلَاصَةٌ also mean what fire has clarified, or purified, of butter, and of gold, and of silver. (Hr)
Or خِلَاصُ اللَّبَنِ means what is extracted from milk, i.e. butter; and so does خُلَاصَةُ اللَّبَنِ, though there mentioned among figurative expressions.
خُلَاصَةٌ, applied in the manner first mentioned above, is by a secondary application made to mean what is clear, or pure, of other things; [as also خَالِصٌ, and hence both of them often mean the choice, best, or most excellent, part of anything; and so, probably, does خِلَاصٌ].
خُلَاصَةٌ and خُلَاصٌ also mean rob, or inspissated juice, made from dates; or this is called خُلُوصٌ.
