Mṣb, Ḳ:) and he dressed up to him an affair [in false colours]: (Mṣb:) or he acted towards him with dissimulation: pretended to him the contrary of what he conceived in his mind: (A, Ḳ:) but this is a needless addition, for it is the same as the first explanation (TA:) as alsoغشّشهُ↓, (Ḳ,) inf. n. تَغْشِيشٌ: (TA) or this latter has an intensive signification: it is said to be derived from غَشَشٌ, signifying “a turbid drinking-place,” (TA:) It is said in the story of Umm-Zarạ, accord. to one relation, لَا تَمْلَأُ بَيْتَنَا تَغْشِيشًا↓, said by some to be from الغِشُّ, and by others to be from [a usage of] التغشيش as signifying النَّمِيمَةُ [app. here meaning the embellishing speech with falsehood]: but accord. to the approved relation, it is [تَغْشِيشًا] with the unpointed letter. (IAth.) [See art. عش.]

غَشَشٌ A turbid drinking-place: (Az, IAmb, Ṣgh, TA:) الكَدِرُ المَشُوبُ in the Ḳ is a mistake: the right explanation of الغَشَشُ being المَشْرَبُ الكَدِرُ, which is that given by Az and IAmb and Ṣgh. (TA.)

غِشَاشٌ, applied to a drinking (شُرْبٌ), Little in quantity, (Ḳ, TA,) because of turbidness: (TA: [in which it is said to be applied in like manner to a day, يوم; but I think that this is a mistranscription for نَوْمٌ, i. e. sleep:]) or hasty. or not wholesome; (Ḳ, TA;) because the water is not clear.
