(بَشَكَ) الْبَاءُ وَالشِّينُ وَالْكَافُ أَصْلٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَمِنْهُ يَتَفَرَّعُ مَا يَقْرُبُ مِنَ الْخِفَّةِ. يُقَالُ: نَاقَةٌ بَشَكَى، أَيْ: سَرِيعَةٌ. وَيُقَالُ: امْرَأَةٌ بَشَكَى عَمُولٌ. وَابْتَشَكَ فُلَانٌ الْكَذِبَ: إِذَا اخْتَلَقَهُ. وَبَشَكْتُ الثَّوْبَ قَطَعْتُهُ. وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْبَشْكِ فِي السَّيْرِ وَخِفَّةِ نَقْلِ الْقَوَائِمِ.
