Ibn Duraid said: It is the snatching at the temple, and it is from 'sharṣ' meaning 'sharaṣ' (شصر), which is pulling, as if the hair was pulled and the place became bare. Do you not see it is called a snatching, and pulling and snatching are from the same origin, as in Al-Abab.

Al-sharṣ, with harakah, is the 'sharṣ' of the nose-rein: it is a hollow on the camel's nose, a groove to which the nose-rein is bent, so she becomes more obedient, faster, and more enduring in her journey, said Ibn Duraid, and he recited:

(لولا أبو عمر حفص لما انتجعت ... مروا قلوصي ولا أزرى بها الشرص)

(Were it not for Abu 'Amr Hafs, my she-camel would not have been sought... nor would the 'sharṣ' have weakened her).
