Vocab Entry: Muhaggaba

Muhaggaba: a woman who wears the higab

This definition was actually found in the glossary of Zaat, indicating it is a native Egyptian term.

(pg 197) "A muhaggaba at work gave her the telephone number."
This is the only instance I found, though in all honesty the context provides little information about the connotation or association of the term.
