اخشوشن

Root: خشن

Form: 12

Full Definition

اخشوشن and تخشّن It was, or became, very rough, harsh, or coarse: or he wore rough, harsh, or coarse, clothes: or the former signifies also he accustomed himself to the wearing of such clothes: or each, he ate rough, harsh, or coarse, food: or the former, or each, he said what was rough, harsh, or coarse: or he lived a rough, or coarse, life. The former verb is more intensive in all its senses than خَشُنَ and تخشّن, because of the repetition of the medial radical and the addition of the و; and the same is the case of every verb of this class, as اعشوشب and the like, as is indicated in the S.
