Full Definition

ارتمسVIII i. q. اِنْغَمَسَ or اِغْتَمَسَ [He immersed himself in the water]; or so that his head and whole person became concealed therein; the doing of which by one fasting is forbidden in a trad.: or not remaining long in the water; whereas انغمس and اغتمس denote [the doing so and] remaining long in the water; and agreeably with this explanation of the difference, the two verbs are used in another trad., where it is said, الصَّائِمُ يَرْتَمِسُ وَلَا يَنْغَمِسُ The faster may immerse himself not remaining long in the water, but not immerse himself and remain long therein.
