عسم

مَعْسِمٌ ذ A thing that is, or that is to be, coveted; syn. مَطْمَعٌ; (S, TA;) as also ↓ عَسَمٌ; or this latter signifies coveting, or covetousness; and عَشَمٌ, with ش, is a dial. var. of it. (TA in this art. and in art. عشم.) So the former signifies in the saying مَا لَكَ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ مَعْسِمٌ [ There is not for thee, in the sons of such a one, anything that is, or is to be, coveted ]. (S.) [Freytag has written this word مَعْسَم, as from the K, in which I do not find it; and has expl. it as signifying desire. ]
