This is the origin in usage, then it is used metaphorically for the whole, as one says 'he took him by his extremities', and it is exemplified for one who turns to something with his entirety, so it is said: 'he cast his شراشر upon him', as Al-Asma'i said, as if in his desperation he threw his entire self upon him.
