دَرْبٌ is not a word of Arabic origin: (
Msb:) الدَّرْبٌ is [the Arabic name of the ancient Derbe, near the Cilician Gates, which were the chief mountain-pass, from the direction of the countries occupied by the Arabs, into the territory of the Greek Empire: these “ Gates ” are mentioned by El-Idreesee as fortified, and guarded by troops who watched the persons going and coming:] a well-known place in الرُّوم [or the territory of the Greek Empire], mentioned by Imra-el-Keys, [as El-Idreesee also says,] in the words, بَكَى صَاحِبِى لَمَّا رَأَى الدَّرْبَ حَوْلَهُ [My companion wept when he saw the درب around him; knowing himself to be in the power of the Greeks]. (
MF,
TA.) [Hence,] Any place of entrance, (
Kh,
T,
M,
A,
Mgh [in my copy of which it is written دَرَب in all its senses],
K,) or a narrow pass, (
Mgh,) to [the territory of]
الرُّوم: (
Kh,
T,
M,
A,
Mgh,
K:) or such as is not open at both ends: such as is open at both ends being called ↓ دَرَبٌ: (
K:) or a place of entrance between two mountains: (
Msb:) or a narrow pass in mountains: and hence it has another meaning well known: (
S:) [i. e.] the gate of a سِكَّة [here meaning street: misunderstood by Golius, who has consequently explained دَرْبٌ as having, for one of its meaning, “porta ingressusve palmeti ”]; used in this sense by the Arabs because it [i. e. the درب properly so called] is like a gate, or entrance, to that whereto it leads: (
Msb:) or the gate of a wide سِكَّة: (
T:) or a wide gate of a سِكَّة; and the largest gate; (
M,
K;) both of which explanations mean the same: (
M:) and also a wide سِكَّة itself: so in the phrase, زُقَاقٌ أَوْ دَرْبٌ غَيْرُ نَافِذٍ [a narrow street or a wide street not being a thoroughfare]: (
Mgh: [in my copy of which, دَرَبٌ is put for دَرْبٌ:]) [but in the present day, and as used by El-Makreezee and others, a by-street, whether wide or narrow, branching off from a great street, or passing through a حَارَة (or quarter), open, or having a gate, at each end:]
pl. دُرُوبٌ (

TA,) with teshdeed, (

Lh,
M,
K,) submissive, or tractable, (
M,
K,) or rendered submissive or tractable: and a she-camel that will follow a person if he takes hold of her lip or her eyelash. (
Lh,

TA, instead of نَهَزْتَ عَيْنَهَا in the
M and
CK in this art., and نَهَزَتْ عَيْنُهَا in my
MS. copy of the
