عَسُوفٌ

Travelling without following a right direction; [as also ↓ عَاسِفٌ; and, apparently, in like manner, ↓ عِسِّيفٌ, but in an intensive sense, occurring in a verse of Esh-Shenfarà, (see Dc Sacy 's Chrest. Ar., see. ed., ii. 359-60,) but not found by me in any of the lexicons:] plural عُسُفٌ, like as رُسُلٌ is plural of رَسُولٌ. (Msb.) Applied to a she-camel as meaning That goes along at random, heedlessly, or in a headlong manner, not obeying a guide to the right course, and that is not turned by anything. (TA.)

And [hence,] Acting wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically; synonym جَايءِرٌ: (TA:) or one who acts wrongfully, &c., much, or often; synonym ظَلُومٌ: (S, Mgh, O, * K, TA:) and ↓ عَسَّافٌ also has the former [or rather the latter] meaning. (TA.)

And One who takes with strength, or force; and so, but in an intensive sense, ↓ عَسَّافٌ. (Msb.)
