غشم

1 غَشْمٌ ذ signifies The acting, or treating, wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically: (S, K:) or the taking another's property wrongfully, &c., or by force: and the taking a course, in journeying [&c.], at random, without direction and without knowledge. (JK.) One says of a governor, غَشَمَ الرَّعِيَّةَ, aor. غَشِمَ , [accord. to the TK, the aor. of the verb in the sense here following is غَشُمَ , but this I think a mistake,] inf. n. غَشْمٌ, He struck, or beat, with vehemence, the people under his government, wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically, and took [ from them ] what he could. (TA.) And غَشَمَ النَّاسَ He asked whom he could of the people. (Z, TA.) And غَشَمَ الأُمُورَ He performed affairs, or the affairs, [ in a random manner, ] confusedly, without discrimination. (Ham p. 37: by implication.) ― -b2- And غَشَمَهُ, aor. غَشِمَ , He smeared him [i. e. a camel] with tar so that he left nothing [or no part of him ] without tar, pouring it upon what was sound thereof and what was diseased thereof: and ↓ غَشَمٌ [perhaps as an inf. n., but accord. to the TK it is a simple subst., and the inf. n. is غَشْمٌ,] signifies the act of so smearing. (K.) ― -b3- And غَشَمَ (tropical:) He collected firewood by night, cutting whatever he could get, without consideration, (K, TA,) or, as in the A, without discrimination. (TA.)
