ترسّمV , or ترسّم الرَّسْمَ, He looked at the رَسْمِ [or mark, trace, relic, &c.]. And ترسّم الدَّارَ He considered, or examined, the رُسُوم [or marks, traces, relics, &c.,] of the house, or dwelling; or did so repeatedly, in order to obtain a clear knowledge thereof.
2 And in like manner ترسّم signifies He looked, and considered, or examined, or did so repeatedly, in order to know where he should dig, or build. Hence, تَرَسَّمَتِ القَنَافِذُ فِى الأَرْضِ The hedge-hogs looked, or considered, or examined, repeatedly, to know where they should make their holes. And ترسّم الشَّىْءَ He looked, or looked long, at the thing; or considered, or examined, it, or did so repeatedly, in order to obtain a clear knowledge of it. And ترسّم القَصِيدَةَ He considered, or studied, the ode, and retained it in his memory, or sought, or endeavoured, to remember it. And أَنَا أَتَرَسَّمُ كَذَا I remember, or I seek, or endeavour, to remember, such a thing, but am not sure, or certain, of it.
