Root: شحن

Full Definition

شُحُون in the following verse, cited by ISd, تَأَطَّرْنَ فِى المِينَآءِ ثُمَّ تَرَكْنَهُ وَقَدْ لَجَّ مِنْ أَحْمَالِهِنَّ شُحُونُ may be, accord. to him, an Verbal.Noun of شَحَنَ, or an extr. pl. of شِحْنَةٌ: [but I rather think that it is a pl. of شَاحِنٌ , like as شُهُودٌ is of شَاهِدٌ; and accordingly I would render the verse thus: They kept close in the port, then they left it, and laders had persisted in contention by reason of their burdens, i. e. the burdens of the ships, because of the labour that they occasioned.]
