Form: 7

Full Definition

انحاشVII He took fright, and fled from him; or was averse from him; and shrank from him; and was frightened at him; and was moved by him. [In the TA it is here added, that this verb is quasi-pass. of الحَوْشُ in the sense of النِّفَارُ; but this seems to indicate that a copyist has written النفار by mistake for الإِنْفَارُ, which is a syn. of the Verbal.Noun of 1 in a sense explained above: so that انحاش signifies He became scared, or the like.] Hr mentions this verb in art. حيش; but it belongs to the present art. You say, زَجَرَهُ فَمَا ٱنْحَاشَ لِزَجْرِهِ He chid him but he did not take fright and flee, &c., at his chiding. And مَا يَنْحَاشُ فُلَانٌ مِنْ شَىْءٍ, and لِشَىْءٍ, and مِنْ فُلَانٍ, Such a one is not moved by, and does not care for, or regard, anything, and such a one.
2 انحاشت الإِبِلُ The camels became collected together.
