(M, K.) [See also 1.] You say, حَلَّ إِسَارَهُ فَأَطْلَقَهُ He untied his thong of untanned hide wherewith he was bound, and released him. (A.) A2: See also أَسِيرٌ.

أَسِيرٌ i. q. ↓ مَأْسُورٌ; (S, TA;) Bound with an إِسَار: (M, TA:) shackled: (K:) imprisoned: (Mujáhid, M, K:) captived, or a captive; (S, M, K;) absolutely, (TA,) although not bound with an اســار: (S:) and ↓ إِسَارٌ is sometimes used in the same sense. (Msb.) اســير 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.)
