أَخْمَصُ القَدَمِ A man whose foot rises from the ground, [or is hollow in the middle of the sole,] so that it does not touch it: fem. خَمْصَآءُ: and pl. خُمْصٌ: (Msb:) and ↓ خُمْصَانٌ signifies having the middle of the sole of the foot moderately rising from the ground; which is a goodly quality; but when it is flat, or rises much, it is dispraised: so explained by IAar when he was asked by Th respecting 'Alee's saying of Mohammad, [cited, but not explained, in the K,] كَانَ خُمْصَانَ الأَخْمَصَيْنِ: or, accord. to Az, خُمْصَانٌ signifies having the part [of the sole] of the foot which does not cleave to the ground in treading very much retiring from the ground. (TA.) b2: الأَخْمَصُ [when without the article ال also written without tenween accord. to the best authorities, because the quality of an epithet is original to it, and that of a subst. is accidental,] also signifies The part [of the sole] of the human foot which does not cleave to the ground in treading; (Az, TA;) the part of the sole of the human foot which is hollow, so that it does not touch the ground; (S, K; *) the part of the bottom of the human foot which is thin, and retires from the ground; or, as some explain it, [meaning the same,] the خَصْر of the human foot: (TA:) pl. أَخَامِصُ.
