Full Definition

تحسّرV It fell off; when relating to the fur, or soft hair, of a camel, [said to be] by reason of fatigue; but this restriction is not necessary; for its falling off is sometimes occasioned by diseases; though it may be said that the former cause is the more common. You say also, تحسّر الوَبَرُ عَنِ البَعِيرِ The fur, or soft hair, fell off from the camel: and in like manner one says of the plumage from the birds: and of the hair from the ass. See also 2.
2 تحسّرت بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ [She uncovered herself, or her head and forehead, or her head, or her face, before him: (see حَاسِرٌ:) or] she sat before him with her face uncovered.

def.2 See also 1, in two places.
