غَسِيلٌ

i. q. مَغْسُولٌ [i. e. Washed]; (S, O, Msb, K;) applied to a thing, (S, O,) and to a dead body; (Lh, Msb, TA;) and the former is also applied as an epithet to a feminine n., as is also غَسِيلَةٌ; (S, O, K;) or this last is used after the manner of substs., like نَطِيحَةٌ and ذَبِيحَةٌ; not as is said in the S [and O] after the manner of epithets: (IB, TA:) the plural of غَسِيلٌ is غَسْلِى and غُسَلَاءُ; (Lh, K, TA;) and the plural of غَسِيلَةٌ [and apparently of غَسِيلٌ used a feminine epithet] is غَسَالَى or غُسَالَى. (K according to different copies.) Han- dhaleh Ibn-er-Ráhib was called غَسِيلُ المَلَايءِكَةِ [The washed of the angels], because he died a martyr on the day of Ohod, and the angels washed him, (S, O, Msb,) according to the Prophet, who said that he saw them washing him. (O.)
