قرص

قَارِصٌ ذ [act. part. n. of قَرَصَهُ; Pinching: &c. (See an ex. voce مَوْقُوصٌ.) ― -b2- (tropical:) Biting; applied to a flea, &c. ― -b3- And hence,] (tropical:) A certain insect, like the بَقّ [q. v.,] (K,) that bites. (TA.) ― -b4- [Hence also, (tropical:) Pinching, or paining; ] applied to cold. (A, TA.) ― -b5- And, applied to milk, (As, S, A, K,) and beverage, (M,) or such as is termed نَبِيذ, (A, TA,) (tropical:) That bites the tongue: (As, S, M, A, K:) or, when applied to milk, it is to camels' milk in particular, and signifies sour: (M, TA:) in the K is added, or sour milk upon which much fresh is milked so that the acidity goes away: but this is a mistake; for it is an explanation, given by Sgh, of the epithet مُمَحَّلٌ, occurring in a verse of Abu-n-Nejm, where it is coupled with قَارِصٌ. (TA.) It is said in a proverb, عَدَا القَارِصُ فَحَزَرَ (tropical:) What was biting to the tongue attained to an excessive degree, so that it became acid: meaning, the affair, or case, became distressing. (S.) ― -b6- [Hence also,] قَارِصَةٌ [for كَلِمَةٌ قَارِصَةٌ] (tropical:) A saying that hurts; (S, M, A;) or that pains; (Msb;) or that troubles and pains one (K, * TA) like the pinching of the body: (TA:) pl. قَوَارِصُ. (S, A, K.)
