Full Definition

اقرسIV The branch, or twig, had its sap congealed in it. In the M, instead of جَمَسَ مَاؤُهُ فِيهِ, we find حَبَسَ فِيهِ مَاؤُهُ [which is probably a mistake of a copyist].

def.2 اقرسهُ البَرْدُ [The cold] made him cold; as also قرّسهُ , Verbal.Noun تَقْرِيسٌ: [or,] accord. to some, by البرد is here meant sleep: or the cold made him unable to work with his hand: and اقرس البَرْدُ أَصَابِعَهُ the cold made his fingers rigid, by chilness of the extremities, so that he was unable to work.
2 اقرس المَآءَ فِى الشَّنِّ He cooled the water in the old worn-out skin; as also قرّسهُ قيه; and فبه, Verbal.Noun قَرْسٌ.
