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

غَصَّ , (Msb, MF,) sec. pers. غَصِصْتَ , (S, Msb, K,) and غَصَصْتَ , (Msb, K,) the latter extr., (TA, [see 1 in art. عض ,]) aor. يَغَصُّ , (S, Msb, K,) when the sec. pers. of the pret. is غَصِصْتَ , (Msb,) and يَغُصُّ , (Msb, TA,) when the sec. pers. of the pret. is of the other form mentioned above, (Msb,) inf. n. غَصَصٌ , (S, K,) or غَصٌّ , (Msb,) or the former when the aor. is يَغَصُّ , and the latter when the aor. is يَغُصُّ , (TA,) His throat, or fauces, became choked, or obstructed, (S, K, MF,) by food: (S, Msb, MF:) [as also, app., ↓ اِغْتَصَّ :] accord. to some of those skilled in the science of lexicology, you say غَصَّ when it is by food, and شَرِقَ when it is by beverage, [or by the spittle, and water, and the like, (see art. شرق ,)] and شَجِىَ when it is by a bone, and جَرِضَ when it is with spittle; but every one of these is sometimes used in the place of any other: (MF:) and [thus] you say also, غَصَّ بِالمَا=ءِ , meaning, his throat, or fauces, became choked, or obstructed, by the water; or the water stopped therein, and he was hardly able to swallow it. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] غَصَّ بِرِيقِهِ [lit., His throat, or fauces, became choked by his spittle;] meaning, (tropical:) he died. (TA.) ― -b3- Hence, also, غَصَّ بِالغَيْظِ (tropical:) [He was, or became, choked with wrath, or rage]. (Msb.) ― -b4- [And غَصَّ , alone, seems to signify (assumed tropical:) He became grieved, or disquieted in mind; like as does شَجِىَ (q. v.): and it seems to be indicated in the CK that ↓ اغتصّ signifies the same: see غُصَّةٌ .] ― -b5- [Hence also,] غَصَّتْ بِنَا الأَرْضُ (assumed tropical:) The land became straitened [as though it were choked] by us. (TA.) And غَصَّ المَجْلِسُ بِأَهْلِهِ (assumed tropical:) [The sitting-place became straitened, or choked, or choked up, by its people]; as also ↓ اغتصّ . (TA.)

اغصّهُ , (S, Msb, TA,) inf. n. اـِغْصَاصٌ , (TA,) He (a man, S, Msb) caused his throat, or fauces, to be choked, or obstructed, (S,) by food; (Msb;) syn. أَشْجَاهُ [which has the above-mentioned meaning and also another to he found below]. (TA.) [And It (food &c.) choked him.] ― -b2- Hence, اغصّهُ بِالغَيْظِ (tropical:) [He (a man) caused him to become choked with wrath, or rage]. (Msb.) ― -b3- [Hence also,] اغصّهُ بِرِيقِهِ [lit., He caused his throat, or fauces, to become choked by his spittle;] meaning, (assumed tropical:) He caused him to become grieved, or disquieted in mind; (A, TA;) [like أَشْجَاهُ : and it seems to be indicated in the CK that اغصّهُ without any addition signifies the same: see غُصَّةٌ .] ― -b4- [Hence also,] اغصّ عَلَيْنَا الأَرْضَ (assumed tropical:) He made strait to us the land. (K, TA.)

اـِغْتَصَ3َ see 1, in three places.

غُصَّةٌ A thing lying across in the throat, or fauces, so as to cause a choking, or an obstruction, thereof; (IDrd, A, * K;) a thing by which one has his throat, or fauces, choked, or obstructed; (TA;) food by which one has his throat, or fauces, choked, or obstructed; (Msb;) i. q. شَجًا ; (S, K;) [which has another meaning that will be found below; and both these meanings may be intended by it in the S; but in the K, the latter only seems to be intended; for there, between it and the explanation which is here first given, we find intervening the pl., and also, in the CK, the words وَقَدْ اَغْصَصْتُهُ فاغْتَصَّ ;] a thing by which one is choked ( شَجًا يُغَصُّ بِهِ , Lth, JK, TA) in the حَرْقَدَة [meaning the head of the windpipe], (Lth, TA,) or in the throat, or fauces: (JK:) pl. غُصَصٌ . (S, Msb, K.) It is said in the Kur [lxxiii. 13], وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ (TA) And food that sticks fast, (Bd,) or by which one is choked, (Jel,) in the throat, or fauces. (Bd, Jel.) ― -b2- And hence, (tropical:) Choking wrath or rage. (Msb.) ― -b3- [And (assumed tropical:) Grief, or disquietude of mind; a signification often occurring; and app. intended by the explanation شَجًا in the K. See what is said on this point above.] ― -b4- Hence also, غُصَصُ المَوْتِ [The chokings, or strangulations, of death: the deathrattles: or (assumed tropical:) the agonies of death]. (TA.)

غَصَّان : see what next follows.

غَاصٌّ A man having his throat, or fauces, choked, or obstructed, (S, Msb, * K,) by food; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ غَصَّان . (S [in two copies of which it is written غَصَّانُ ], K [in two copies of which it is written غَصَّانٌ ], Msb [in my copy of which, as well as in the TA, it is without any final syll. sign].) ― -b2- And [hence,] غَاصٌّ بِالقَوْمِ (assumed tropical:) An abode, or a place of alighting, filled [and as it were choked up] with the company of men; (S, A, K;) and in like manner a mosque; as also ↓ مُغْتَصٌّ .
