Msb, K:) and he dressed up to him an affair [in false colours]: (Msb:) or he acted towards him with dissimulation: pretended to him the contrary of what he conceived in his mind: (A, K:) but this is a needless addition, for it is the same as the first explanation (TA:) as also ↓ غشّشهُ, (K,) verbal noun 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-Zara, according 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 [apparently here meaning the embellishing speech with falsehood]: but according to the approved relation, it is [تَغْشِيشًا] with the unpointed letter. (IAth.) [See article عش.]
