Full Definition
2 اِحْتَشَتْ She (a مُسْتَحَاضَة) stuffed her vulva (نَفْسَهَا) with the [rags termed] مَفَارِم [in the CK, erroneously, مَقَارِم], and the like: and in a similar sense احتشى is used as said of a man having the [disorder termed] إِبْرِدَة. And اِحْتَشَتْ بِالكُرْسُفِ and الكُرْسُفَ She (a حَائِض, S, Mgh) stuffed her vulva with cotton, to arrest the blood.
3 اِحْتَشَتْ حَشِيَّةً and بِحَشِيَّةٍ She wore a حَشِيَّة; as also [alone]. (Az, TA in art. حشى.) A poet says,
[She will not wear any stuffing but that which is genuine and true]: meaning that she will not wear حَشَايَا because the largeness of her posteriors renders it needless for her to do so.لَا تَحْتَشِى إِلَّا الصَّمِيمَ الصَّادِقَا
