(TA.)

inf. n. of غَسَلَهُ: (S, MA, Mgh, O, Msb, K:) or, accord. to some, this and ↓ غُسْلٌ have one and the same meaning; and the saying that this is the case is ascribed to Sb: (Msb:) or, as some say, the latter is the inf. n., and the former is the subst. (MF, TA.) See also the next paragraph.

the subst. from غَسَلَهُ [i. e. a subst. signifying A washing]: (S, Msb:) or a subst. (IKoot, Mgh, Msb, K, TA) from الاغتسال, (IKoot, Mgh, Msb, TA,) and [as such] signifying a complete washing [of oneself, i. e.] of the whole person: (IKoot, T, Mgh, Msb, TA:) it is in consequence of جَنَابَة [q. v.], and of childbirth, and for [the prayers of] Friday, and is the washing of the dead; but in other cases, the word ↓ غَسْلٌ, with fet-h, is used: (Ham p. 30:) and one says ↓ غُسُلٌ as well as غُسْلٌ, (S, O,) the former being a dial. var. of the latter: (TA:) El-Kumeyt says, describing a wild ass, " تَحْتَ الأَلَآءَةِ فِى نَوْعَيْنِ مِنْ غُسُلٍ بَاتَا عَلَيْهِ بِتَسْجَالٍ وَتَقْطَارِ " [Beneath the (tree called) أَلَآءَة, in two sorts of washing that continued during the night upon him with much pouring and much dropping]; meaning that the water that was upon the tree poured upon him at one time; and at one time, that of the rain: (S, TA:) the pl. of غُسْلٌ is أَغْسَالٌ. (Msb.) See also غَسْلٌ. ― -b2- And see غَسُولٌ.

A preparation for washing the head, consisting of خِطْمِىّ [or marsh-mallows] and other things (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) of a similar kind, (Mgh, Msb, K,) [with water,] as [leaves of] the [species of lote-tree called] سِدْر, (Msb,) and طِين, (TA,) or طِينَةُ الرَّأْسِ, [meaning fullers' earth, which is often used in the bath and elsewhere instead of soap,] (Mgh,) and أُشْنَان [or potash]: (TA:) [and app. any wash for the head:] and ↓ غِسْلَةٌ signifies the same: (Mgh, K:) and also (this latter) leaves of the myrtle: and perfume; syn. طِيبٌ: and what a woman puts into her hair on the occasion of combing and dressing it: (K:) غِسْلَةٌ مُطَرَّاةٌ being myrtle [-leaves] rendered fragrant with aromatic perfumes, used in combing and dressing one's hair: one should not say غَسْلَةٌ. (S, O.) IAar cites the following verse (S, O) of 'Abd-Er-Rahmán Ibn-Dárah El-Ghatafánee, (O,) " فَيَا لَيْلَ إِنَّ الغِسْلَ مَا دُمْتِ أَيِّمًا عَلَىَّ حَرَامٌ لَا يَمَسُّنِىَ الغِسْلُ " [And, O Leylà, (لَيْلَ being a contraction of لَيْلَى, but in the O it is يا جُمْلُ O Juml,) verily the wash for the head, as long as thou remainest husbandless, shall be unlawful to me: the wash for the head shall not touch me]: i. e. I will not need the wash for the head by my جِمَاع of other than her: [he says thus] in eager desire of taking her in marriage. (S, O.) ― -b2- See also غَسُولٌ. -A2- And see also غُسَلَةٌ.
