TA:) or the washings of them: or their tears: (
TA:) or, as some say, the latter of the words has the first of these meanings: (

S, O.) غَسِيقَاتٌ Intensely red; [applied to she-camels;] thus
expl. by
Skr as occurring in a verse of Sakhr [?] El-Hudhalee. (
TA.) غَسَّاقٌ: see غَسَاقٌ:
b2: and see also the paragraph here following, near the end.
الغَاسِقُ signifies The night; (
Zj,
TA;) and [hence] وَمِنْ شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ (in the
Kur [cxiii. 3],
S, O) means [And from the mischief] of the night when it cometh in; (
S,
O,
K;)
accord. to El-Hasan (
S, O) El-Basree: (
O:) or the beginning of the night; as El-Hasan is related to have said: (
TA:) or the night when the شَفَق [or redness in the horizon after sunset] disappears: (
S,
O,
K:) and the night is said to be so called because it is colder than the day: (
O,
TA:) [for]
الغَاسِقُ signifies [also] the cold (البَارِدُ) [like الغَسَاقُ] (
TA:) or what is meant in the verse of the
Kur-án cited above is the accident in the night: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) or الغَاسِقُ signifies the moon; (
K;) and this is said to be meant in the verse of the
Kur-án; (
S,
TA;) so the Prophet is related to have said to Áïsheh; i. e. the verse means, [the mischief of] the moon when it is eclipsed: (
Th,
O, *
TA:) or what is meant in that verse is, الثُّرَيَّا [i. e. the asterism called the Pleiades] when it sets [aurorally (see ثُرَيَّا)], because diseases and pestilences are frequent at that period. (
O,
K,
TA,) and become removed at that period of its [auroral] rising [in the opposite season of the year], (
O,
TA,) as is related in a
trad. (
TA:) or the sun when it sets: or the day when it enters upon the night. or the serpent called الأَسْوَد when it smites, or turns over: or,
accord. to Sub. Iblees when he suggests evil: (
TA:) or,
accord. to
I'Ab and several others, from the mischief of the ذَكَر when it becomes erect; (
K,
TA:) a strange explanation: and ↓ الغَسَّاقُ is like الغَاسِقُ; [but in what sense or senses is not said;] each is an
epithet in which the quality of a
subst. is predominant. (
TA.)
b2: غَاسِقٌ also signifies Flowing; applied by a poet in this sense to a source, or spring; and having to relation to darkness. (
Sh.
TA.)
