Full Definition

انفصمVII It broke without becoming separated: [i. e. it be came cracked:] and تفصّم has a similar meaning [i. e. it became cracked much, or in several places]. You say, انفصم ظَهْرُهُ His back cracked. And انفصمت الدُّرَّةُ The pearl cracked in one part thereof.
2 And It broke, or became severed, or cut off. It is said in the Kur [ii. 257], لَا ٱنْفِصَامَ لَهَا meaning There shall be no breaking incident to it.
3 And It opened so as to form an interstice, or a gap. (TA in art. شظى.)
