خَشْمٌ

1.
The nose: [see also خَيْشُومٌ:] and the mucus that flows from it. (TA, from a tradition: and the latter signification is mentioned in the TA voce سَلَتَ; as well as in the present article.)
2.
[In modern Arabic, it signifies The mouth: and hence, a spout.]
3.
In Persian, it signifies Anger: and this meaning is with probability deducible from the literal root of this article; for he who is angry raises his nose and makes it pointed. (TA.)
