برسم

بِرْسَامٌ برسام رسام , (in the T with fet-h, [بَرْسَامٌ,] Mgh,) A certain malady, or disease, (S, Msb, K,) well known, (S, Msb,) attended by delirium: (K:) [in the present day, this term is applied to the pleurisy, as also ذَاتُ الجَنْبِ; and so it is explained by Golius and Freytag; or, as the latter adds, accord. to Avicenna, pleurodyne: but] in some of the books of medicine, it is said to be a tumour, (Msb,) or a hot tumour, (TA,) that is incident to the septum which is between the liver and the bowels, [app. meaning the upper parts of the greater and lesser omentum, ] and then reaches to the brain: (Msb, TA:) also pronounced بِلْسَامٌ: (ISk, Msb:) i. q. مُومٌ: (M, TA:) it is an arabicized word; (IDrd, Mgh, Msb;) or seems to be so; composed of بَرْ and سَامْ; the former of these, in Persian, signifying the “breast,” or “chest;” and the latter, “death” [and “fire” and “a swelling;” of which three meanings, the second and third are agreeable with the two explanations of برسام given above]: so says Az. (TA.)
