خشم

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

خَشْمٌ ذ The nose: [see also خَيْشُومٌ:] and the mucus that flows from it. (TA, from a trad.: and the latter signification is mentioned in the TA voce سَلَتَ; as well as in the present article.) ― -b2- [In modern Arabic, it signifies The mouth: and hence, a spout. ] -A2- In Persian, it signifies Anger: and this meaning is with probability deducible from the literal root of this art.; for he who is angry raises his nose and makes it pointed. (TA.)
