حَيْزُومٌ

Full Definition

حَيْزُومٌ and حَزِيمٌ The breast, or chest: or the middle thereof; and the part which the حِزَام [i. e. girth or girdle] embraces, where the heads of the جَوَانِح [or ribs of the breast] meet, above the lower extremity of the sternum, opposite the كَاهِل [or uppermost third portion of the backbone]: the part of the breast which is the place of the حِزَام: and the former word, the part that surrounds the back and the belly: or the ribs of [the part where lies] the heart: and the part of the side of the breast on the right and left of the حُلْقُوم [or windpipe]; the two parts thus described being called حَيْزُومَانِ: pl. of the former حَيَازِيمُ; and of the latter أَحْزِمَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and حُزُمٌ [a pl. of mult.]. One says, اُشْدُدْ حَيْزُومَكَ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ, and حَيَازِيمَكَ, i. e. Dispose and subject thyself to this affair, or case; meaning prepare thyself for it: and شّدَّ [ He disposed and subjected, or prepared, himself]: or شَدُّ الحَيَازِيمِ is an expression denoting, by way of similitude, patient endurance of that which has befallen one.
2 And the former, The breast [or bows] of a ship or boat.

def.2 حَيْزُومُ [so in my copies of the S, imperfectly decl., app. regarded as of foreign origin, (not الحَيْزُومُ as is implied in the K,)] the name of One of the horses of the angels; the horse of Gabriel: accord. to some, [حيزون,] with ن in the place of the م.

def.3 See also حَزٌمٌ.
