tropical:) Such a one excused himself to him, and was slow, or tardy: (
Az,
T,
K:*) thus as related by Ibn-Hánee from

Msb.) and جَآءَ القَوْمُ بِأَسْرِهِمْ The people came altogether. (Aboo-Bekr.)
b2: Strength of make, or form. (
M,
K.) [
Accord. to the copies of the
K in my hands, it also signifies Strength of natural disposition; but instead of وَالخُلُق, in those copies, we should read وَالخَلْقُ, agreeably with other lexicons, as is implied in the
TA: see 1.] Yousay, فُلَانٌ شَدِيدٌ أَسْرٍ الخَلْقِ (
tropical:) Such a one is of strong, firm, or compact, make, or form. (

Kur [lxxvi. 28], means (
tropical:) We have strengthened their make, or form: (
S,
A,
Msb:) or, their joints: or, their two sphincters which serve as repressers of the urine and feces (مَصَرَّتَىِ البَوْلِ وَ الغَائِطِ), which contract when the excrement has passed forth; or the meaning is, that these two things do not become relaxed before one desires. (
IAar,
K.) أُسْرٌ, (
S,
M,
IKtt,
A,) a
subst., (
M,
IKtt,) as also ↓ أُسُرٌ, (

M, &c.:) suppression of the feces is termed حُصْرٌ: (
S:) or a dribbling of the urine, with a cutting pain in the bladder, and pangs like those of a female in the time of parturition. (
IAar.) You say, أَخَذَهُ الأَسْرُ [Suppression of urine, &c., took him, or affected him]. (
A.) and أَنَالَهُ اللّٰهُ أُسْراً [May God give him a suppression of urine, &c.]: a form of imprecation. (
A.)
b2: Hence, (
M,) عُودُ أُسْرٍ (
IAar,
S,
M,
A,
K) and عُودٌ أُسْرٌ and عُودُ الأُسْرِ (Expositions of the
Fs) and عُودُ يُسْرِ, (
IAar,
K,) or this is a corruption, (
K,) or a vulgar mistake, (

S, A.) إِسَارٌ A thing with which one binds; (
M,
K;) a thong of untanned hide, (
S,
A,
Msb,) with which one binds a camel's saddle, (
As,
S,) [as also إِصَارٌ,] and a captive; and so أَسْرٌ,
q. v.: (
S:) and a rope, or cord, with which a captive is bound: and a pair of shackles: (
TA:)
pl. أُسُرٌ. (
M,
K.) [See also 1.] You say, حَلَّ إِسَارَهُ فَأَطْلَقَهُ He untied his thong of untanned hide wherewith he was bound, and released him. (

أَسِيرٌ
i. q. ↓ مَأْسُورٌ; (

TA:) shackled: (
K:) imprisoned: (Mujáhid,
M,
K:) captived, or a captive; (
S,
M,
K;) absolutely, (
TA,) although not bound with an اسار: (
S:) and ↓ إِسَارٌ is sometimes used in the same sense. (
Msb.) اسير is also applied as an
epithet to a woman, (
Mgh,
Msb,) when the woman is mentioned; but otherwise أَسِيرَةٌ is used as the
fem.: you say, قَتَلْتُ الأَسِيرَةَ [I slew the female captive], like as you say, رَأَيْتُ القَتِيلَةَ. (
Msb.) The
pl. is أَسْرَى (

M,
K) and (
accord. to several authors, pls. of أَسْرَى,
TA) أُسَارَى (
S,
M,
Msb,
K) and أَسَارَى: (
M,
K:) the first of these forms of
pl. is proper to epithets applied to those who are hurt or afflicted in their bodies or their intellects: (Aboo-Is-hák:) it is used in this instance because a captive is like one wounded or stung. (
Th,
M.) تَآسِيرُ السَّرْجِ [in the
CK, erroneously, تَأْسِير] The thongs of the horse's saddle, whereby it is bound: (
K:)
accord. to the more correct opinion, a
pl. without a
sing. (

pl. مَآسِيرُ. (
