(A.) ― -b2- دَاسَ الطَّعَامَ, (S, A,) or الحِنْطَةَ, (Msb,) or الحَبَّ, (M,) aor. يَدُوسُ, (S, Msb,) inf. n. ديَاسَةٌ, (S, A, Mgh,) or دَوْسٌ and دِيَاسٌ, but some say that دِيَاسٌ is not of the language of the Arabs, and some say that it is tropical, as though from دَاسَ in the sense explained above, (Msb,) or the professors of practical religion use it in the place of دِيَاسَةٌ by a kind of license, relying upon the understanding of the hearer or reader, or do so erroneously, (Mgh,) He trod, or thrashed, (M, Mgh, Msb,) the wheat, (Mgh, Msb,) or grain, (M,) either by the feet of beasts, or by repeatedly drawing over it the مِدْوَس [q. v. infrà] until it became تِبْن [or cut straw]; (Mgh;) as also ↓ أَدَاسَهُ . (M.) You say, دَاسُوهُ دَوْسَ الحَصِيدِ [They trod, or trampled, upon him, or it, with the treading of reaped corn]. (A.) ― -b3- دَاسَهُ, (IAar, TA,) inf. n. دَوْسٌ, (IAar, A, K,) He abased him. (IAar, A, K.) ― -b4- نَزَلَ العَدُوُّ بِبَنِى فُلَانٍ فَجَاسَهُمْ وَحَاسَهُمْ وَدَاسَهُمْ The enemy [came upon and] slew the sons of such a one, and went through the midst of their dwellings, and made havoc among them. (TA.) ― -b5- دَاسَهَا, (A, TA,) inf. n. دَوْسٌ, (A, K,) (tropical:) Inivit eam; scil., feminam: (A:) vehementer inivit eam: (A, K: [in the former, this signification is given as proper, though that immediately preceding is said to be tropical: in the TA, the latter is said to be tropical:]) conscendit et vehementer inivit eam. (TA.) ― -b6- دَاسَهُ, (S, M, A, Msb,) inf. n. دَوْسٌ, (Msb, K,) or دِيَاسٌ, (As, A, Mgh,) (tropical:) He polished it; namely, a sword, (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) and the like, (K,) or some other thing. (Msb.) ― -b7- Hence, دَوْسٌ also signifies (tropical:) The framing, and dressing up, of deceit, guile, or circumvention: (As, A, TA:) [agreeably with which explanation the verb, دَاسَ, is probably used, though not mentioned in the A nor in the TA:] or simply, the act of deceiving, beguiling, circumventing, and practising artifice. (TA.) You say, أَخَذْنَا فِى الدَّوْسِ (tropical:) We set about the framing, and dressing up, of deceit, guile, or circumvention: (A:) or we set about deceiving, &c. (TA.)
