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

حَسV3َ حَسَّ , (first pers. حَسِسْتُ , or حَسَسْتُ , and حَسِيتُ , and حَسَيْتُ , and حَسْتُ ,) as syn. with أَحَسَّ : see 4, throughout. ― -b2- حَسَّ لَهُ , first pers. حَسَسْتُ , aor. حَسِ3َ ; (S, K;) and first pers. حَسِسْتُ , [aor. حَسَ3َ ;] (Yaakoob, S, K;) inf. n. حِسٌّ (S, K) and حَسٌّ , (K,) or the latter is inf. n. of both verbs, but the former is a simple subst., (TA,) He was, or became, tender, or compassionate, towards him: (S, K:) [lit., he felt for him:] ISd says that, for رَقَقْتُ لَهُ , the explanation of حسستُ له , he found in the book of Kr the verb written with ف and ق ; but that the former [?] is the right: (TA:) or he lamented for him; (Aboo-Málik, TA;) as also لَهُ ↓ حَسْحَسَ . (K, * TA.) The Arabs say, اـِنَّ العَامِرِىَّ لَيَحِسُّ لِلسَّعْدِىِّ Verily the 'Ámiree is tender, or compassionate, towards the Saadee; because of the relationship that subsists between them. (TA.) And Abu-l-Jarráh El-'Okeylee said, مَارَأَيْتُ عُقَيْلِيًّا اـِلَّا حَسَسْتُ لَهُ I have not seen an 'Okeylee without my feeling tenderness, or compassion, towards him; (S, TA;) for the same reason. (TA.) [See حَاسَّةٌ , second signification.] -A2- حَسَّهُ , [aor. حَسُ3َ , inf. n. حَسٌّ ,] He made his حِسّ [i. e. sound, or motion,] to cease. (Bd in iii. 145.) ― -b2- Hence, (Bd, ubi suprà,) حَسَّهُمْ , aor. حَسُ3َ , (S, A, Bd, Msb,) inf. n. حَسٌّ , (Msb, K,) [and app., accord. to Fr, حِسٌّ , or this may be a simple subst.,] He slew them: (Bd, Msb, K:) and extirpated them: (K:) or he slew them quickly: (A, TA:) or he extirpated them by slaughter: (Aboo-Is-hák, S:) or he slew them with a quick and extirpating slaughter: or with a vehement slaughter: (TA:) it occurs in the Kur iii. 145: (S, A:) accord. to Fr, حِسٌّ , [so in the TA,] in this instance, is the act of slaying and destroying. (TA.) [Hence, حُسَّ app. signifies It was utterly destroyed, so that nothing was left in the place thereof; and so ↓ احتسّ ; for it is said that] حِسٌّ and اِحْتِسَاسٌ , with respect to anything, signify أَنْ لَا يُتْرَكَ فِى المَكَانِ شَىْءٌ . (TA.) Also حَسَّهُمْ , aor. as above, He trod them under foot, and despised them. (TA.) And حَسَّ البَرْدُ الجَرَادَ The cold killed the locusts. (S.) ― -b3- [Hence,] الجَرَادُ تَحُسُّ الأَرْضَ The locusts eat the herbage of the land. (TA.) And حَسَّ البَرْدُ الكَلَأَ , (S, K,) or الزَّرْعَ , (A,) aor. حَسُ3َ , (S, TA,) inf. n. حَسٌّ , (TA,) (tropical:) The cold nipped, shrunk, shrivelled, or blasted, (lit., burned, أَحْرَقَ , q. v.,) the herbage, (S, K,) or the seed-produce. (A.) -A3- حَسَّ الدَّابَّةَ , (S, TA,) or حَسَّهَا بِالمِحَسَّةِ , (A,) aor. حَسُ3َ , (S,) inf. n. حَسٌّ , (S, K,) (tropical:) He curried the beast; removed the dust from it with the مِحَسَّة . (S, A, K, TA.) [See a proverb, voce حَشَّ .] Hence the saying of Zeyd Ibn-Soohán, on the day of the battle of the Camel, when he was carried off from the field, about to die, اِدْفِنُونِى فِى ثِيَابِى وَلَا تَحُسُّوا عَنِّى تُرَابًا (tropical:) [Bury ye me in my clothes, and] shake not off any dust from me. (S, TA.)

حَسَّسْتُ الشَّىْءَ [a mistake in the CK for حَسَسْتُ ]: see 4.

احسّ الشَّىْءَ , (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. اـِحْسَاسٌ , (Msb,) He perceived, or became sensible of, ( وَجَدَ ,) the حِسّ (i. e. motion or sound, TA) of the thing: (S, K, TA:) he knew the thing by means of [any of] the senses: (IAth, accord. to his explanation of الاـِحْسَاسُ as signifying العِلْمُ بِالحَوَاسِّ :) he ascertained the thing as one ascertains a thing that is perceived by the senses: (Bd in iii. 45:) he knew the thing; or he perceived it by means of any of the senses; syn. عَلِمَ بِهِ , (Msb,) and عَلِمَهُ , and عَرَفَهُ , and شَعَرَ بِهِ ; (TA;) as also ↓ حَسَّهُ , aor. حَسُ3َ , inf. n. حَسٌّ and حِسٌّ and حَسِيسٌ ; (TA, in explanation of the saying in the K that حَسَسْتُ الشَّىْءَ [in the CK erroneously ↓ حَسَّسْتُ ] signifies the same as أَحْسَسْتُهُ ;) and in like manner احسّ بِهِ is syn. with شَعَرَ بِهِ ; (L, Msb;) and so is بِهِ ↓ حَسَّ , aor. حَسُ3َ , inf. n. حِسٌّ (L, Msb) and حَسٌّ and حَسِيسٌ ; (L;) or حِسٌّ is a simple subst.: (M, L:) accord. to Fr, اـِحْسَاسٌ is syn. with وُجُودٌ ; and Zj says that the meaning of احسّ is عَلِمَ and وَجَدَ : (TA:) or احسّ signifies he perceived, or became sensible of; syn. وَجَدَ : and he thought, or opined: (Akh, S, K:) and he saw; syn. أَبْصَرَ : and he knew: (K:) and is trans. in these senses by itself, (Akh, S,) or by means of بِ : (TA:) and أَحْسَسْتُ بِهِ signifies I knew it certainly; was certain, or sure, of it; (S;) as also به ↓ حَسِسْتُ , (S, K,) with kesr; (K;) speaking of news, or tidings: (S:) and for أَحْسَسْتُ , some say أَحْسَيْتُ , (S, Msb, K,) changing the [second] س into ى ; (S, Msb;) and أَحَسْتُ , (T, S, L, K,) with a single س , which is an extr. kind of contraction, (S, K,) but made in all other similar cases, where the last radical letter is quiescent; (Sb, L, TA;) and [thus] for أَحْسَسْنَ , we find أَحَسْنَ ; (S;) and in like manner, for ↓ حَسِسْتُ , (S, K,) or ↓ حَسَسْتُ , (Msb,) some say حَسِيتُ , (T, S, M, L,) and حَسَّيْتُ , (M, L, Msb, K, [in the CK حَسْتُ , which is the modern vulgar form,]) and حَسْتُ . (Abu-l-Hasan, IAar, T, M, L.) You say, احسّهُ بِعَيْنِهِ [He perceived him, or it, with his eye]; (Ibn-Zekereeyà, TA in art. جس ;) and so ↓ حَسَّهُ . (Sgh, TA ibid.) [In the present art. in the TA, it is said that حَسَّهُ بالنصل is syn. with أَحَسَّهُ : but بالنّصل is evidently a mistranscription for بِالبَصَرِ .] And it is said in the Kur [iii. 45], فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ عِيسَى مِنْهُمُ الكُفْرَ And when Jesus ascertained their unbelief as one ascertains a thing that is perceived by the senses: (Bd:) or opined it; or perceived it, or became sensible of it: (Akh, S:) or saw it: (Lh, TA:) or knew it, or perceived it sensibly. (Msb.) And in the same [xix. last verse], هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ Dost thou see of them any one? (TA.) You say also, هَلْ أَحْسَسْتَ الخَبَرَ Hast thou known the news? (TA.) And أَحْسَسْتُ بِالخَبَرِ , and أَحْسَيْتُ بِهِ , and به ↓ حَسِسْتُ , and حَسِيتُ به , I knew the news certainly. (S.) And أَحْسَسْتُ الخَبَرَ , and أَحَسْتُهُ , and ↓ حَسِيتُهُ , and حَسْتُهُ , I knew somewhat of the news. (T, L, TA.)

تحسّس أحس حس تحسس He listened to the discourse of people: (El-Harbee, K:) accord. to Aboo-Mo'ádh, it is (??) to تَسَمَّعَ and تَبَصَّرَ : (TA:) or he sought repeatedly, or time after time, to know a thing, by the sense ( الحاسة ) [of hearing &c.]: (Har p. 678:) or (so accord. to the TA, but in the K “ and, ”) he sought after, (Msb, K.) or sought after repeatedly, or time after time, (Msb,) news, or tidings, of a people, in a good cause; (K;) تجسّس signifying the doing the same in an evil cause: A'Obeyd says, you say, تَحَسَّسْتُ الخَبَرَ and تَجَسَّسْتُهُ ; and Sh says that تَنَدَّسْتُهُ is similar to it; and IAar, that تَحَسَّسْتُ الخَبَرَ and تَبَجَّسْتُهُ [but this is app. a mistranscription for تَبَحَّثْتُهُ ] signify the same. (TA.) You say also, تحسّس مِنَ الشَّيْءِ He asked, or inquired, after news, or tidings, of the thing. (S, TA.) And تحسّس فُلَانًا , and مِنْ فُلَانٍ , He inquired, or sought for information, respecting such a one; as also تجسّس : or the former signifies he sought after him for himself; and the latter, “ he sought after him for another. ” (TA, art. جس .) The passage in which it occurs in the Kur xii. 87, has been differently interpreted, accord. to the several explanations here given. (TA.) -A2- See also 7.

انحسّ أنحس انحس نحس (assumed tropical:) It became pulled out or up or off; became eradicated, or displaced; fell, or came, out; syn. اِنْقَلَعَ : (S, K:) it fell; fell off; or fell continuously, by degrees, or one part after another; syn. تَحَاتَّ , (S, K,) and تَسَاقَطَ : (A, TA:) it broke in pieces: (TA:) said by Az to be a dial. var. of انْحَتَّ .

حَسَاسٌ حساس , with fet-h, Perception by means of any of the senses; syn. وُجُودٌ . (L, TA.) Hence the proverb, لَا حَسَاسَ مِنِ ا@بْنَىْ مَوْقِدٍ [There is no perceiving of the two sons of the place of the kindling of fire]: (L, TA:) for they say that two men used to kindle a fire in a road, and, when people passed by them, to entertain them as guests; and a party passing by when they had gone, a man said these words.
