تعريف distaff في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.: a device to which a bundle of natural fibres (often wool, flax, or cotton) are attached for temporary storage, before being drawn off gradually to spin thread. A traditional distaff is a staff with flax fibres tied loosely to it (see Etymology), but modern distaffs are often made of cords weighted with beads, and attached to the wrist; referring to the maternal side of a family; of, relating to, or characteristic of women; the part of a spinning wheel from which fibre is drawn to be spun; anything traditionally done by or considered of importance to women only; women considered as a group; {n} a staff used in spinning, a woman; {i} part of a spinning wheel that holds the wool, spindle; the part of a spinning wheel from which thread is drawn to be spun; characteristic of or peculiar to a woman; "female sensitiveness"; "female suffrage"; the sphere of work by women; the staff on which wool or flax is wound before spinning the sphere of work by women; a spindle, the rod used for spinning and then winding natural fibres, especially wool; a stick, used in the past for spinning wool. Device used in hand spinning in which individual fibres are drawn out of a mass of prepared fibres held on a stick (the distaff), twisted together to form a continuous strand, and wound on a second stick (the spindle). It is most often used for making linen; wool does not require a distaff (see carding). The first stage in mechanizing spinning was to mount the spindle horizontally in bearings to rotate with a large hand-driven wheel; the distaff, carrying the mass of fibre, was held in the left hand, and the spinning wheel slowly turned with the right. The Saxon, or Saxony, wheel incorporated a bobbin on which the yarn was wound continuously; the distaff holding the raw fibre became a stationary vertical rod, and the wheel was activated by a foot treadle, freeing both the operator's hands. From 17th-century England, the word distaff became a synonym for maternal as most spinning was done by women in their homes. See also domestic system; Used as a symbol of the holder of a distaff; hence, a woman; women, collectively; The staff for holding a bunch of flax, tow, or wool, from which the thread is drawn in spinning by hand; the staff on which wool or flax is wound before spinning; rock
