تأثّم

Root: اثم

Form: 5

Full Definition

تأثّمV He abstained from what is termed إِثْمٌ [i. e. sin, or crime, &c.]; like تَحَرَّجَ meaning “ he preserved himself from what is termed حَرَجٌ: ” or he did a work, or deed, whereby he escaped from what is termed إِثْمٌ: and he repented of what is so termed, and begged forgiveness of it; as though he removed the إِثْم itself by repentance and by begging forgiveness; or sought to do so by those two means. You say also, تأثّم مِنْ كَذَا He abstained from such a thing as a sin, or crime; syn. تَحَّنَثَ, q. v. (S, K, in art. حنث.)
