حَشٌّ

(S, Mgh, Msb, K) and حُشٌّ, (S, Msb, K,) but the former is the more common, (Msb,) and حِشٌّ, (K,) A garden: (El-Fárábee, S, Mgh, Msb, K: *) or a garden of palm-trees: (AHát, Msb:) plural حِشَّانٌ (S, Msb) and حُشَّانٌ. (Msb.)

Hence, (tropical:) A privy; (El- Fárábee, S, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) likewise called بَيْتُ الحَشِّ or الحُشِّ: (Msb:) because they used to ease themselves in the gardens: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) then, when they made privies, they applied thus this appellation: (Msb:) and in like manner, مَحَشٌّ; but according to the Abridgment of the 'Eyn., this is proper, not tropical: (Msb:) or this last, also written مِحَشٌّ, signifies the same; (TA;) or a place in which human ordure has become collected: (K:) the plural of حشّ as applied to a privy is حُشُوشٌ (S, Mgh, K) and حُشُّونَ. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.)
