Full Definition

توقّصV He went a pace between that called العَنَق and that called الخَبَب; falling short of the latter, but exceeding the former, and removing his legs as in the pace called الخبب, excepting that they were nearer to the ground, and throwing himself [forward]: or he trod vehemently in going, with short steps, as though breaking what was beneath him: or he bounded in his running, making short steps, as though breaking his steps. You say, مَرَّ فُلَانٌ يَتَوَقَّصُ بِهِ فَرَسُهُ Such a one passed along, his horse bounding, and making short steps, with him.
