Full Definition

تشآءمواVI , in some of the copies of the K تشأّموا , [and in like manner تشأّم بِهِ, which is often opposed to تَيَمَّنَ بِهِ, is used in the K in art. عطس, and تشأّم مِنْهُ in the TA in the same art. as on the authority of IKh, whence it seems that both these verbs are correct in the sense here following, though the former is probably preferable, and بِهِ is used in the same manner in “ Les Oiseaux et les Fleurs, ” p. 83, as mentioned by Freytag, so that تشأّم به and استشأم are the contr. of تيمّن به and استيمن,] They augured evil from him, or it; regarded him, or it, as an evil omen; like تَطَيَّرُوا بِهِ: deemed him, or it, unlucky, or inauspicious.
2 تشآءم, thus, with medd, also signifies He took the direction of الشَّأْم[i. e. Syria].
