Core sense — refuse of wool; palm-branches stripped of their leaves; little flocks of cloudsgenerated

[A collective noun] Refuse of wool; later applied also to soft hair, and other hair, and flax.

Or soft hair and wool that fall off gradually from the animals and become compacted in lumps, or clotted.

Or refuse of wool, and what falls off gradually from the sheep and becomes compacted in lumps, or clotted; or bad wool; or the worst of wool and soft hair, and what is picked up of it from the ground.

A piece of it is termed قَرَدَةٌ.

It is said in a proverb, عَكَرَتْ عَلَى الغَزْلِ بِأَخَرَةٍ فَلَمْ تَدَعْ بِنَجْدٍ قَرَدَةٌ عَكَرَتْ, meaning عَطَفَتْ [She returned to spinning at last, and left not in Nejd a piece of refuse of wool].

In the K, عَثَرَتْ is put for عَكَرَتْ, and both readings are mentioned by the relaters of proverbs. [ عثرت على الغزل seems to mean she applied herself by chance to spinning.]

The proverb is applied to someone who neglects a needful business while it is still possible and then seeks to do it when it is out of reach. Its origin is that a woman neglects spinning while she has something to spin (cotton or flax and the like) until, when it is beyond her reach, she looks for refuse of wool among sweepings and rubbish.
