فَشَاشِ

Root: فش

Full Definition

فَشَاشِ , like قَطَامِ, [indecl.,] means [i. e. She who makes the wind to come forth from a skin, by loosing the tie round its mouth: in the TA expl. only as signifying الضَّرُوطُ عِنْدَالجِمَاعِ, which may be a secondary meaning, but is not the meaning in what here follows]. فَشَاشِ مِنِ ٱسْتِهِ إِلَى فِيهِ [lit. O woman discharging the confined wind of the skin, discharge thou its confined wind, from its anus to its mouth, i. e., from end to end], which is a prov., means [O woman] do thou with it, or him, what thou wilt, for it, or he, has no means of self-defence nor of becoming altered; and it is said in relation to an angry man who is not able to become altered: الفَشُّ is the making the wind to come forth from a وَطْب.
