Full Definition

تَعَشَّوَV see 1, first quarter, in two places. One says also, تعشّى بِهِ He fed himself with it [in the evening, or] in the time called the عِشَآء: and [in like manner] تَتَعَشَّاهُ is said of camels [as meaning they feed themselves with it, or pasture upon it, in the evening]. And when one says to thee, تَعَشَّ [Eat thou the evening-meal], thou sayest, مَا بِى تَعَشٍّ, or مَا بِى مِنْ تَعَشٍّ, [I have no desire for eating the evening-meal; see 5 in art. غدو;] and not مَا بِى عَشَآءٌ, or not ما بي مِنْ عَشَآءٍ

def.2 See also 6.

def.3 And تعشّاهُ signifies also He gave him an عِشْوَة [or عُشْوَة, i. e. a firebrand].
