which this and the first only are mentioned, accord.
to a copy of a portion in my possession,]) He sought
after, or pursued, it: and he did so repeatedly, or
by degrees, and leisurely, or repeatedly and by
degrees and leisurely: (S, M, A, K:) as also
↓ تقسّسهُ. (A, * K.) [See also قَصَّهُ, which, accord.
to the TA, is a dial. form of قَسَّهُ.] You say,
تقسّس ↓ الأَخْبَارَ [He sought after, or sought after
repeatedly, &c., news, or tidings]. (A.) ―
2-b2- [Hence,
app.,] قَسٌّ signifies Calumniation; or malicious
and mischievous misrepresentation; (S, M, K;)
as also قُسٌّ and قِسٌّ; (K;) and the spreading, or
publishing, of discourse, and speaking evil of men
behind their backs, or in their absence: (TA:)
[probably inf. ns., of which the verb is قَسَّ;
perhaps a trans. verb; for] قَسَّهُمْ signifies He
hurt them, or annoyed them, by foul speech;
(K;) as though he sought, or sought repeatedly,
or by degrees and leisurely, or repeatedly and by
degrees and leisurely, after that which would
hurt them, or annoy them. (TA.) ―

1-A2- قَسَّ, [of
which the sec. pers. is app. قَسُسْتَ, and the
aor.
قَسُ3َ ,] (TK,) inf. n. ↓ قُسُوسَةٌ and ↓ قِسِيسَةٌ, accord.
to all the copies of the K, [so says SM, in the TA,
but in the CK ↓ قُسُّوسَة and ↓ قِسِّيسَة, and in a MS
copy of the K I find the latter written ↓ قَسِيسَة,]
but correctly ↓ قِسِّيسَّةٌ, as written by Lth, (TA,)
He became a قَسّ [or قِسِّيس]: (K, * TK:) or
↓ قَسُوسَةٌ and ↓ قِسِيسَّةٌ [so in a copy of the M, but in
a copy of the A ↓ قُسُوسِيَّةٌ and ↓ قِسِّيسِيَّةٌ, which I
hold to be the correct forms of these two words,
the former from the pl. of قَسٌّ and the latter from
قِسِّيسٌ,] are simple substs., (M,) and you say,
[using them as such,] لَهُ القُسُوسِيَّةُ and القِسِّيسَّةُ
To him belongs the rank, or office, of قَسّ or
قِسِّيس. (A.)
