فَشُوشٌ

Root: فش

Full Definition

فَشُوشٌ A female slave who emits noiseless wind from the anus; as also فَاشّاء [an evident mistranscription for فَاشَّةٌ ]: [or] a woman from whom wind issues on the occasion of الجِمَاع: or, accord. to the K, applied to a woman, sonum submissum genitalibus edens in congressu: and also, applied to a man, who glories, or boasts, vainly: but these two explanations are there wrongly assigned: the former of them applies to نَجَّاخَة; and the latter, to فَيُوش; two epithets occurring, with فَشُوش, in a verse of Ru-beh.
2 And, applied to a woman, i. q. خَلَّابَةٌ [i. e. Very deceitful]: thus correctly, with خ: in some copies of the K with ح; and in others, with ج.
3 And A woman who sits upon the جُرْدَان.

def.2 Also, applied to a she-camel, and to a ewe, or she-goat, it signifies مُنْتَشِرَةُ الشُّخْبِ, meaning Whose milk flows forth without its being drawn, by reason of the wideness of the orifice of the teat: or whose milk flows forth in separate jets, like the rays of the rising sun, into the vessel, so as not to make froth: and فِشَاشٌ signifies the quality, or state, that is denoted by this epithet thus applied.
2 And A skin, such as is used for water or milk, that sweats, or exudes moisture.

def.3 See also فَشٌّ, in three places.
