Full Definition

عَمِشَI , Present.T ـَ Verbal.Noun عَمَشٌ, He was weak in sight, and generally, or at most times, shedding tears. And عَمِشَتِ العَيْنُ, Present.T and Verbal.Noun as above, The eye was generally, or at most times, shedding tears, and weak in sight.
2 Hence, عَمِشَ فِيهِ, said of speech, It produced a good effect upon him. And فُلَانٌ لَا تَعْمَشُ فِيهِ المَوْعِظَةُ Such a one, exhortation produces no good effect upon him. Both of these are chaste phrases; for when exhortation produces an effect upon a man, it becomes as though it were weaksighted, seeing nothing to amend in him.
