1 خَصَاهُ خص خصاه خصاة خصى خصية , (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. يَخْصِيهِ, (JK, Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. خِصَاآءٌ (JK, S, Mgh, Msb, K) and خَصَاآءٌ, mentioned, by MF, from Expositions of the Fs, (TA,) and خَصْىٌ, agreeably with analogy, occurs in a trad. of Esh-Shaabee, though we have not heard it, (Mgh,) He drew forth, or extracted, his testicles; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) [ he gelded, or castrated, him; ] namely, a stallion, (S,) a sheep or goat, or a horse or similar beast, (Lth, JK, TA,) and a man or boy, (TA,) or a slave. (Msb.) One says, بَرِئْتُ اـِلَيْكَ مِنَ الخِصَاآءِ [ I am irresponsible to thee for castration ]. (S.) ― -b2- [Hence,] كَانَ جَوَادًا فَخُصِىَ [lit. He was a fleet and excellent horse, and he was gelded ]; meaning (tropical:) he was rich, and he became poor. (TA.) ― -b3- The poets term satire, and the act of overcoming, خِصَاآء: one of them says, خَصَيْتُكَ يَا ا@بْنَ حَمْزَةَ بِالقَوَافِى كَمَا يُخْصَى مِنَ الحَلَقِ الحِمَارُ [(tropical:) I have emasculated thee, O son of Hamzeh, with rhymes, like as the he-ass is emasculated in consequence of the disease termed حَلَق; for which, it is asserted, (as is said in the TA, art. حلق,) there is no remedy but gelding]. (IB, TA.)
