رمص
See also: رمض
Arabic
Etymology
Mostly augmented from رَمَّ (ramma, “to mend”) of the root ر م م (r-m-m).
The meaning of rheum is also found in Classical Syriac ܪܷ̈ܡܨܶܐ (remṣē) and hardly native to Arabic, even variating its consonantism to رَمَسَة (ramasa) and رُمُوسَة (rumūsa) in al-Andalus, and غَمَض (ḡamaḍ) meaning a more liquid rheum, here applying the فَعَل (faʿal) pattern usual for excrescences and فُعُولَة (fuʿūla) for bulkier properties attached to someone or something: plausibly after a Middle Iranian borrowing equivalent to that of رِمْش (rimš, “eyelash”), although it is also possible that with emphasis of the driedness of the rheum the term is an Aramaic derivation of an older form of the root cognate to رَمَضَ (ramaḍa, “to parch, to scorch”) and its root ر م ض (r-m-ḍ), otherwise curiously attested in Mishnaic Hebrew רֶמֶץ (rémeṣ, “ember”)—the Proto-Semitic *ṣ́ phoneme gives sometimes ṣ and more prominently ʕ in Aramaic, both reflexes coexisting in Syriac, as ܚܲܡܘܼܨܬܵܐ (ḥammūṣtā) and ܚܲܡܘܼܥܬܵܐ (ḥammūʿtā).
Verb
رَمَصَ • (ramaṣa) I, non-past يَرْمُصُ (yarmuṣu)
- to compensate, to mend
