ح س م

انحسم أنحسم انحسم ٱنحسم It was, or became, cut, or cut off: (S, Msb, K:) [or it was, or became, cut off entirely: see 1, of which it is the quasi-pass.]

حُسُامٌ حسام A sword; because it cuts that upon which it comes: (Msb:) or a sharp sword; (S, K, TA;) and in the same sense applied to a [knife such as is termed] مُدْيَة : (TA:) and (so in the S, but in the K “ or ”) the edge of a sword, with which one strikes. (S, K.) ― -b2- لَيْلَةٌ حُسَامٌ A lasting night: (K:) or a night of lasting evil, especially. (TA.)

حُسُومٌ حسوم Unluckiness, or inauspiciousness. (S, * K, * TA.) Some explain it thus in the passage here following. (S, * TA.) ― -b2- سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالِ وَ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا , in the Kur lxix. 7, means He sent it (the wind) upon them by force, (Jel,) or made it to prevail against them by his power, (Bd,) [seven nights and eight days] consecutively; (T, S, Bd, K, Jel;) an expression taken from the repetition of the act of cauterization, (T, Bd, Jel.) i. e. the act of the ↓ حَاسِم ; (Jel;) whence this word ( حاسم ) is applied to anything made consecutive; (T, TA;) and حُسُومٌ is its pl.: (T, Bd, TA:) or حُسُومٌ signifies the making consecutive. and, as an epithet, consecutive, and continuous from first to last: (Fr, TA:) or, accord. to some, الأَيَّامُ الحُسُومٌ means the days that are consecutive with evil especially; and such ISd thinks to be the meaning: (TA:) or اللَّيَالِى الحُسُومُ means the nights that cut off good, or prosperity, (↓ تَحّسِمُ الخَيْرَ ,) from their people: (S, * K: [and the like is said by Bd in lxix. 7:]) or حُسُومًا in the Kur means causing them to pass away, come to an end, cease, perish, or come to nought: (Zj, T:) or it may be an inf. n., meaning for the purpose of cutting off: or an inf. n. of a verb meant to be understood, as a denotative of state; i. e. ↓ تَحْسِمُهُمْ حُسُومًا [agreeably with the explanation of Zj]; and this is confirmed by the reading with fet-h [i. e. حَسُومًا , though this is a very rare form of inf. n.]: (Bd:) you say أَيَّامٌ حُسُومٌ , (K,) in which case the latter word is an inf. n. used as an epithet, meaning cutting off, or preventing, good, or prosperity; (TA;) and أَيَّامُ حُسُومٍ , which has a similar meaning. (K, TA.)

حَاسِمٌ حاسم ; pl. حُسُومٌ : see this latter word.

مَحْسَمَةٌ محسمه محسمة A cause, or means, of cutting off, or stopping; (T, K, TA;) syn. مَقْطَعَةٌ . (T, TA.) So in the saying, هٰذَا مَحْسَمَةٌ لِلدَّا=ءِ This is a cause, or means, of cutting off, or stopping, the disease. (K, * TA.) And hence, (TA,) عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّوْمِ فَاـِنَّهُ مَحْسَمَةٌ لِلْعِرْقِ وَ مَذْهَبَةٌ لِلْأَشَرِ , a trad., (T, S, TA,) meaning [Keep ye to fasting, for it is] a cause, or means, of stopping venereal intercourse, [and a cause, or means, of dispelling exultation, or excessive exultation, and resting the mind upon things agreeable with natural desire:] (TA:) or an impediment to venery, and a cause of diminishing the seminal fluid, and of stopping venereal intercourse or passion, &c. (T, TA.)

مَحْسُومٌ محسوم A child (TA) whose sucking is stopped: (K, TA:) and whose food is stopped. (TA.) And A child badly fed. (S, K.) Hence the prov., وَلْغُ جُرَىٍّ كَانَ مَحْسُومًا [The lapping of a little puppy that had been badly fed]: said on the occasion of a greedy person's taking much of a thing that he had not been able to obtain, and that he had became able to obtain; or in ordering one to take much when able. (TA. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 817; where another reading is given, namely, مَحْشُومًا in the place of مَحْسُومًا , as well as the reading here given.])
