Full Definition

ارتأسVIII He, or it, became mounted, or fixed, upon the head of the thing. In the saying, يَرْتَاسُ السِّنَانَ فَيُقْتَلُ [He becomes fixed upon the point of the spear-head, and is slain], in a verse cited by Th, يَرْتَاسُ is for يَرْتَئِسُ.

def.2 See also 5.

def.3 ارتأس زَيْدًا He took Zeyd by the neck, and lowered it to, or towards, the ground.
2 Hence, He occupied Zeyd so as to divert his attention: and اِكْتَاسَهُ and اِرْتَكَسَهُ and اِعْتَكَسَهُ also signify the same [app. in the former sense, or perhaps in both senses.]
