TA:) [but that خسرو is an arabicized word may reasonably be doubted:]
accord. to

pl. of مَكْسُورٌ:] Abu-l-Hasan says, that
Sb mentions the
pl. مَكَاسِيرُ because it is of a kind proper to substs. (
TA.)
b2: ناقة كَسِيرٌ (
S,
K)
i. q. مَكْسُورَةٌ [
lit., A broken she-camel,] (
K,) is like the phrase كَفٌّ خَضِيبٌ, (

TA,) meaning مَخْضُوبَةٌ: (
TA;) or a she-camel having one of its legs broken: (
Mgh:) and شَاةٌ كَسِيرٌ a sheep, or goat, having one of its legs broken: كسير being of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (

Msb:) كَسِيرٌ, occurring in a

IAth, *
Mgh;) but this requires consideration. (

K,
TA,) of anything. (
TA.) You say, عُودٌ صُلْبُ المَكْسِرِ [Wood, or a piece of wood, or a branch, or twig, hard in the place of breaking,] when you know its goodness by its breaking: (
S, A:) and عُودٌ طَيِّبُ المَكْسِرِ [Wood, &c., good in the place of breaking,] i. e. approved. (
