Root: صرم

Full Definition

صَارِمٌ Cutting; cutting through; or cutting off, or severing; and Sb says that صَرِيمٌ is used in the same sense, like as ضَرِيب in the phrase ضَرِيبُ قِدَاحٍ is used in the sense of ضَارِب. إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَارِمِينَ, in the Kur [lxviii. 22], means If ye be deciding, or determining, upon the cutting off of the fruit of the palm-trees.
2 And A man cutting, or severing, his bond of union; or one who cuts, or severs, that bond; and so [but in an intensive sense] صَرَّامٌ and صَرُومٌ ; or this last signifies, as also صُرَامٌ , having strength to cut, or sever, the bond of his union.
3 Also, applied to a sword, and [in an intensive sense] صَرُومٌ , Sharp, and not bending: pl. of the former صَوَارِمُ.
4 And the former, applied to a man, as being likened to a sword, Hardy, strong, or sturdy, or sharp, penetrating, or vigorous and effective, and courageous.
5 And الصَّارِمُ The lion.
