From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root عبس. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

عَبَسَ , (S, L, Msb,) or عَبَسَ وَجْهَهُ , (A, O, K, TA,) or وَجْهُهُ , (Bd in lxxvi. 10,) aor. عَبِسَ , inf. n. عُبُوسٌ [app. properly used only when the verb is intrans.] (S, A, O, Msb, K) and عَبْسٌ [app. only when the verb is trans.]; (A, O, K;) and ↓ عبّس , (L, K, TA,) inf. n. تَعْبِيسٌ ; (TA;) He frowned; [looked sternly, austerely, or morosely;] or contracted his face: (Msb:) or he contracted the part between his eyes: (L, TA:) or he grinned, or displayed his teeth, frowning, or contracting his face, or looking sternly, austerely, or morosely; syn. كَلَحَ : (S, A, O, K:) or ↓ عبّس has an intensive signification; (S, O, TA;) عبّس وَجْهَهُ meaning he did so much: (S, O:) or عبّس [alone], he had [or made] a hateful face: but when one displays his teeth, or grins, the epithet كَالِحٌ is applied to him: (TA:) and [in like manner] ↓ تعبّس signifies تَجَهَّمَ , (S, O, K,) i. e. he showed a sour, a crabbed, or an austere, face; (TK;) and تَقَطَّبَ [which is syn. with عَبَسَ ].

(Msb.) -A2- عَبِسَتْ said of camels: see 4. ― -b2- [Hence,] عَبِسَ said of a man, He was, or became, dirty, or filthy. (TA.) ― -b3- And said of a garment, It had dirt, or filth, that had dried upon it. (TA.) ― -b4- And عَبِسَ الوَسَخُ فِى يَدِهِ (S, K, TA) and عَلَى يَدِهِ (TA) The dirt, or filth, dried upon his hand, or arm. (S, K, TA.) ― -b5- And [the inf. n.] عَبَسٌ signifies A slave's voiding his urine in, or on, his bed, when he has a habit of doing so and the effect thereof appears upon his person, (O, TA,) by reason of its muchness, (O,) and upon his bed: (TA:) for doing this he may be returned; (O, TA;) but not if it is little and rare.
