You say, تقاعس عَنِ الأَمْرِ (tropical:) He drew back, held back, or hung back, from the thing, or affair, and would not go forward in it; (S, TA;) as also ↓ قَعِسَ, inf. n. قَعَسٌ; and ↓ تقعّس: (TA:) in some copies of the S, instead of تقاعس, in this phrase, we find ↓ تَقَعْوَسَ. (TA.) And [in like manner,] ↓ اِقْعَنْسَسَ (assumed tropical:) He drew back; he receded, or went backwards. (S, K.) When a man draws water without a pulley, pulling the rope at the head of the well, his back pains him, and it is said to him, وَاجْذِبِ الدَّلْوَ ↓ اِقْعَنْسِسْ (assumed tropical:) [Go thou backwards, and pull the bucket]. This verb is without idghám because it is quasi-coördinate to اِحْرَنْجَمَ.
