غَشُومٌ
1.
A man who strikes, or beats, people vehemently, [and wrongfully, (see 1,)] and takes [from them] everything that he can get; as also
غَشَّامٌ and
غَاشِمٌ [except that the first and second are apparently intensive epithets and the last is a simple particle n.]: and it is likewise applied to a feminine, as, for example, to a hand (يَدٌ): and to a striking, or beating, (ضَرْبٌ,) [apparently as meaning wrongful,] as is also
غَشَمْشَمٌ. (TA.) [One says,] الحَرْبُ غَشُومٌ [War is wrongful], because it reaches other than the committer of a crime, or an offence deserving punishment. (S.)
