آسِنٌ

Root: اسن

Full Definition

آسِنٌ and أَسِنٌ , applied to water, i. q. آجِنٌ [and أَجِنٌ]; [i. e.] Altered for the worse in odour, [or in taste and colour, from some such cause as long standing but drinkable; (see above, and see آجِنٌ;)] or so as not to be drunk, thus differing from آجِنٌ and أَجِنٌ: pl. [of the former] آسَانٌ [like as أَطْهَارٌ is pl. of طَاهِرٌ, or perhaps it may have for its sing. أَسْنٌ, like أَجْنٌ]. مَنْ مَآءٍ غَيْرِ آسِنٍ, in the Kur [xlvii. 16], is explained by Fr as meaning Of water not altered for the worse; not آجِن.
