فَارِسِىٌّ ذ [ Persian: a Persian ]: see فَارِسُ. Hence, التَّمْرُ الفَارِسِىُّ A certain sort of dates, (Mgh, Msb,) of good quality. (Msb.)

أَفْرَسُ ذ : see مَفْرُوسٌ. -A2- It is also a noun of excess, or a comparative and superlative epithet, from فِرَاسَةٌ, used by Zj, in the phrase أَفْرَسُ النَّاسِ, meaning, The best, (M,) or best and most true, (TA,) in فِرَاسَة, [i. e., insight, or intuitive perception, &c.,] of mankind.

فِرْسِقٌ ذ : see the art. here following.

فِرْسِكٌ ذ (S, O, K) [and فِرْسِقٌ (K in art. فرسق) The peach: or the sort thereof called the nectarine: from the Greek περσικὴ or περσικὸν ; the malum Persicum, which is generally applied to the former fruit; or amydalus Persica of Linn., (so in Forskål's Flora Aegypt. Arab. p. cxiii.,) which is applied to both of the fruits above mentioned: i. e.] the [ fruit called ] خَوْخ; (K, TA;) of the dial. of El-Yemen: (TA:) or a sort thereof, (K,) i. q. فِرْسِقٌ, which is like the خَوْخ in size, (Lth, O,) أَجْرَدُ [which here means without down, and for which Golius and Freytag appear to have read أَجْوَدُ], smooth, red [accord. to the CK “ or red ”], (Lth, O, K, TA,) and yellow, the flavour of which is like that of the خَوْخ: (Lth, O, TA:) or [ a cling-stone peach or nectarine; i. e.] a sort of خَوْخ that does not cleave asunder from its stone: (S, O:) or [ a free-stone peach or nectarine; i. e.] such as cleaves asunder from its stone.

(S.)

الفِرْسَانُ ذ : see what next follows.

الفُرَاسِنُ ذ The lion; (K, TA;) as also ↓ الفِرْسَانُ: and so [الفُرَانِسُ and] الفِرْنَاسُ. (TA.) See also the last paragraph below.
