1 فَرَسَهُ ذ , aor. فَرِسَ , inf. n. فَرْسٌ, (S, M, O, Msb, K, &c.,) He (a lion) broke, or crushed so as to break, its neck; (S, A, * Mgh, * O, K;) i. e., the neck of his فَرِيسَة; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ افترسهُ: (S:) this is the primary signification: (S, Mgh, TA:) or he (a beast of prey) seized it, (a thing,) and broke, or crushed so as to break, its neck; as also ↓ افترسهُ: (M:) or he (a lion) broke it; i. e., his فَرِيسَة: (Msb:) and he bruised, or crushed, and broke, it; namely, a thing. (M.) Accord. to ISk, (S,) you say, فَرَس الذِئْبُ الشَّاةَ, (S, TA,) meaning The wolf seized the sheep, or goat, and broke, or crushed so as to break, its neck: (TA:) accord. to En-Nadr (i. e. ISh), you say, أَكَلَ الذِّئْبُ الشَّاةَ [The wolf ate, or devoured, the sheep, or goat], but not ↓ افترسها. (S, O, TA.) ― -b2- Hence, (S, Mgh, O, Msb,) He killed it, in any manner; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ افترسهُ: (TA:) or ↓ the latter, he (a lion, O, or a wolf, TA) captured it; or made it his prey. (O, K, TA. See also 2 [where a similar but tropical usage of the former verb is mentioned.]) You say, فَرَسَهُ الأَسَدُ The lion killed him or it. (Mgh.) ― -b3- فَرَسَ الذَّبِيحَةَ, (M, Msb,) aor. فَرِسَ , (M,) inf. n. as above, (S, M, Mgh,) He (the slaughterer) broke the bone of the neck of the slaughtered animal before it became cold: (S, Mgh, O:) or broke its neck before its death: (Msb:) or cut, or severed, its نُخَاع [or spinal cord ]: or divided its neck: (M, TA:) or slaughtered it so as to reach to the نخاع: (AO, TA:) the action thus [variously] expl. is forbidden. (S, Mgh, Msb, TA.) ― -b4- قَبِيحَةً ↓ فَرَسَهُ فِرْسَةً He struck him [ in an abominable manner, app. in the back, ] so that the part between his hips became depressed and his navel protruded. (M.) -A2- فَرُسَ, aor. فَرُسَ , (S, A, O, K,) inf. n. فُرُوسَةٌ (S, A, O, K *) and فَرَاسَةٌ (S, K, * in the O فِرَاسَةٌ) and فُرُوسِيَّةٌ, (S, * A, O, * K, *) all of which ns. are mentioned as syn. by As, (TA,) [as they are also in the S and K,] and the first and last, in like manner, by IAar, (TA,) [but the first is expressly said to be an inf. n. of فَرُسَ in the S and A only, and the second in the S only, and the third (which seems to be rather a simple subst.) in the A only,] He was, or became, skilled in horsemanship, or in the management of horses, (S, A, O, K, TA,) and in riding them, (O, * K, TA,) and in urging them to run, and in remaining firm upon them: (TA:) or فَرَاسَةٌ and فُرُوسَةٌ are inf. ns. having no verb: Lh only [says ISd] mentions فَرَسَ and فَرُسَ as signifying he became a horseman; and this is extr.: (M, TA:) but [beside what has been cited above, from the S and A and K,] IKtt also says that فَرَسَ الخَيْلَ, inf. n. فُرُوسَةٌ and فُرُوسِيَّةٌ, signifies he rode horses well; and in like manner فَرُسَ [but not followed by الخيل]. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence, (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, skilled in anything that he endeavoured to do. (TA.) -A3- فَرَسَ بِالنَّظَرِ, [and بِنَظَرِهِ, and بِعَيْنِهِ, and فَرَسَ فِى النَّاسِ, (see فَارِسٌ,)] aor. فَرِسَ , (Msb,) inf. n. فِرَاسَةٌ and فَرَاسَةٌ, (As, IAar, Msb, TA,) accord. to the citation of the words of As and IAar in the L, but this is at variance with the opinion generally held, [which is, that فَرَاسَةٌ is an inf. n. only of فَرُسَ, signifying as expl. above, and that فِرَاسَةٌ is a subst. from تَفَرُّسٌ, having no proper verb of which it is an inf. n.,] (TA,) is said of a man [in the same sense as تَفَرَّسَ, (q. v.,) as will be seen from the explanations of فِرَاسَةٌ and فَارِسٌ, below]. (Msb.) See 5, latter part, in two places. -A4- فَرِسَ He kept continually, or constantly, to the eating of the dates called فَرَاس. (O, K.) ― -b2- And He pastured upon, or depastured, the plants called فِرْس. (O, K.)
