Core sense — his throat became choked by food; he was choked with ragegenerated

1.1his throat, or fauces, became choked, or obstructed, by food—غَصَّ

Second person غَصِصْتَ and غَصَصْتَ, the latter irregular. [See 1 in art. عض.]

when the second person of the past tense is غَصِصْتَ, and يَغُصُّ when it is the other form mentioned above; maṣdar غَصَصٌ or غَصٌّ, the former when the muḍāriʿ is يَغَصُّ and the latter when it is يَغُصُّ.

Apparently اِغْتَصَّ has the same meaning. Some of those skilled in lexicology distinguish the following usages.

his throat, or fauces, became choked by beverage—شَرِقَ

Also said of choking by the spittle, water, and the like [see art. شرق].

his throat, or fauces, became choked by a bone—شَجِىَ
his throat, or fauces, became choked with spittle—جَرِضَ
his throat, or fauces, became choked by the water—غَصَّ بِالمَآءِ

Or: the water stopped in his throat and he was hardly able to swallow it.

on this sense Every one of these is sometimes used in place of any of the others.

1.1.1figurative · مجازhe died—غَصَّ بِرِيقِهِ

Literally, his throat, or fauces, became choked by his spittle.

1.1.2figurative · مجازhe was, or became, choked with wrath, or rage—غَصَّ بِالغَيْظِ
1.1.3figurative · مجاز — inferredhe became grieved, or disquieted in mind—غَصَّ

It seems to have this meaning when used alone, like شَجِىَ.

The CK seems to indicate that اغتصّ means the same: see غُصَّةٌ.

1.1.4figurative · مجاز — inferredthe land became straitened, as though choked, by us—غَصَّتْ بِنَا الأَرْضُ
the sitting-place became straitened, or choked up, by its people—غَصَّ المَجْلِسُ بِأَهْلِهِ

Also اغتصّ.

A thing lying across in the throat, or fauces, so as to choke or obstruct it; a thing by which, or food by which, one has his throat choked or obstructed.

The same as شَجًا, which has another meaning given below. Both meanings may be intended by it in the S; but in the K only the latter seems to be intended, for there the plural, and in the CK also the words وَقَدْ اَغْصَصْتُهُ فاغْتَصَّ, intervene between it and the explanation given here first.

Lth: a thing by which one is choked in the حَرْقَدَة, that is, the head of the windpipe, or in the throat, or fauces.

Plural غُصَصٌ.

In the Qurʾān 73:13.

1.1figurative · مجاز

And hence: choking wrath or rage.

1.2figurative · مجاز — inferred

And: grief, or disquietude of mind — a meaning that often occurs, and apparently intended by the explanation شَجًا in the K. See what is said on this point above.

1.3figurative · مجاز — inferredthe chokings, or strangulations, of death; the death-rattles; or the agonies of death—غُصَصُ المَوْتِ
