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

حَاصَ عَنْهُ حاص عنه حاص عنة , aor. يَحِيصُ , inf. n. حَيْصٌ and حُيُوصٌ and مَحِيصٌ and مَحَاصٌ (S, Msb, K) and حَيَصَانٌ (S, K) and حَيْصُوصَةٌ (TA) and ↓ حَيْصَةٌ , (K,) [or the last is an inf. n. of un.,] He turned away from him, or it: (S, A, Msb, K:) and he returned, or went back, and fled, from him, or it: (TA:) and عنه ↓ انحاص signifies the same; (S, K, TA;) and so does عنه ↓ تحايص : (TA:) or (K) one says of friends, (S, K,) حَاصُوا , (K,) or حاصوا عَنِ العَدُوِّ [they turned away from the enemy]; (S;) [and in like manner, اِنْحَازُوا ;] and of enemies, اِنْهَزَمُوا ; (S, K;) [and in like manner, وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِينَ .] You say also, حَاصَ عَنِ القِتَالِ He turned away from the fight. (A.) And حَاصَ عَنِ الحَقِّ He turned away from the truth; he deviated from it. (Msb.) And حَاصَ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ He turned away from the thing, and became safe from it. (TA.) And it is said in a trad. respecting the battle of Ohod, فَحَاصَ المُسْلِمُونَ ↓ حَيْصَةٌ And the Muslims made a wheel away, desiring flight: or, accord. to one relation, فَحَاضَ حَيْضَةً , which means the same. (TA.) حَيْصٌ also signifies The retiring, or going back, from a thing. (S, TA.) [See also مَحِيصٌ , below.]

حايصهُ حايصه حايصة , (K,) inf. n. مُحَايَصَةٌ , (TA,) He acted towards him with artifice, or guile; (K;) vied with him; (TA;) and strove to overcome him. (K.) Hence the saying of Mutarrif, related in a trad., when he was asked respecting his going forth from the pestilence, هُوَ المَوْتُ نُحَايِصُهُ وَلَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ , may be interpreted as meaning, [It is death:] we are eager to flee from it [though there is no avoiding it]. (AO, TA.)

تَحَاْيَصَ see 1.

اـِنْحَيَصَ see 1.

وَقَعَ فِى حَاصِ بَاصِ وقع في حاص باص : see what next follows.

وَقَعَ وقع , (AA, S, A, and K in art. بيص ,) and وَقَعُوا , (S,) فِى حَيْصَ بَيْصَ , (S, A, and K ubi suprà,) and حيص بِيصَ , (S in this art. and in art. بيص ; and so in the CK ubi suprà, and in a MS. copy of the K, [though app. contradicted by what follows in that work, as will be seen below,] or حِيصِ بِيصِ , (K ubi suprà, accord. to some copies, and so in the TA,) and حَيْص بَيْصِ , (K ubi suprà,) with fet-h to the first [letter] of each and to the last of each, (K ubi suprà,) and with kesr to the first of each, (S in art. بيص ,) or to both, and with fet-h to the first of each and kesr to the last of each; and sometimes each of the two [vars., namely, حَيْص بَيْص and حِيص بِيص ,] is made perfectly decl. in the second [word], (K ubi suprà,) [so that you say also حَيْصَ بَيْصٍ , and حِيصِ بِيصٍ , and حَيْصِ بَيْصٍ ; (though the copies of the K differ in respect of these forms, two, for instance, giving one form, which is written حَيْصٍ بَيْصٍ , and one adding حِيصٍ بِيصٍ ;) for it is said,] the whole make six dial. vars.; and, accord. to MF, each of the two [vars.] is sometimes made perfectly decl. in the first [word] also, [so that you say حَيْصٍ بَيْصٍ , and حيصٍ بِيصٍ ,] but this he may have inferred from what will be afterwards mentioned on the authority of ISk, (TA in art. بيص ,) and بَاصِ ↓ فِى حَاصِ , (K ubi suprà,) indecl., with kesr for the termination, the ا being [originally] ى ; (TA ubi suprà;) He fell, (S, K,) and they fell, (S,) into confusion in respect of their case, or affair, from which there was no escape for them: (S and K ubi suprà:) or into straitness and difficulty: (S:) حَيْصَ بَيْصَ and حِيصَ بِيصَ are each two nouns made into one, and made indecl. with fet-h for their termination, as in the instance of جَارِى بَيْتَ بَيْتَ : or, as some assert, they are two nouns, from حَيْصٌ meaning the “ turning away, ” and “ retiring, ” or “ going back, ” and بَوْصٌ meaning the “ outstripping, ” and “ fleeing; ” and بوص is altered to assimilate it to حيص ; and the meaning is, an affair, or a case, of any kind, from which one retires, or goes back, and flees. (S.) You say also, جَعَلْتُمُ الأَرْضَ عَلَيْهِ حَيْصَ بَيْصَ , (S and K, both in art. بيص ,) or حِيصَ بِيصَ , (S ubi suprà,) and حَيْصًا بَيْصًا , (ISk, and K ubi suprà,) with fet-h to each, and حِيصًا بِيصًا , with kesr to each, not compounded, (ISk, and TA ubi suprà,) Ye have straitened [the earth, or land,] to him, (S and K ubi suprà,) so that he may not act as he pleases therein: (K:) or so that he may not travel therein in search of sustenance, nor employ himself as he would to make gain. (Nh.) And اـِنَّكَ لَتَحْسِبُ عَلَىَّ الأَرْضَ حَيْصًا بَيْصًا , or, as some say, حيصِ بيصِ , [i. e., حَيْصِ بَيْصِ or حِيصِ بِيصِ , meaning, Verily thou thinkest the earth to be straitened to me, so that I may not act as I please therein: &c.] (S.) ― -b2- حَيْصَ بَيْصَ also signifies The hole of the rat or mouse. (TA in art. بيص .)

حَيْصَةٌ حيص حيصه حيصة : see 1, in two places.

حَيُوصٌ حيوص A beast ( دَابَّةٌ ) that takes fright, and runs away at random; (K;) turning away from that which its master desires: (TA:) a mule evil in disposition. (TA.)

مَحِيصٌ محيص [an inf. n.: (see 1:) and also a n. of place, signifying A place to which one turns away, or aside; to which one flees; a place of refuge:] syn. مَحِيدٌ (S, K) and مَعْدِلٌ (Msb, K) and مَمِيلٌ (K) and مَهْرَبٌ . (S, K.) You say, مَا عَنْهُ مَحِيصٌ [There is no turning away, &c., or no place to which to turn away, &c., from it]. (S.)
