خصى1 خَصَاهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ (JK, Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. خِصَآءٌ (JK, S, Mgh, Msb, K) and خَصَآءٌ, mentioned, by MF, from Expositions of the Fs, (TA,) and خَصْىٌ, agreeably with analogy, occurs in a trad. of Esh-Shaabee, though we have not heard it, (Mgh,) He drew forth, or extracted, his testicles; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) [he gelded, or castrated, him;] namely, a stallion, (S,) a sheep or goat, or a horse or similar beast, (Lth, JK, TA,) and a man or boy, (TA,) or a slave. (Msb.) One says, بَرِئْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الخِصَآءِ [I am irresponsible to thee for castration]. (S.) b2:  [Hence,] كَانَ جَوَادًا فَخُصِىَ [lit. He was a fleet and excellent horse, and he was gelded]; meaning (tropical:)  he was rich, and he became poor. (TA.) b3:  The poets term satire, and the act of overcoming, خِصَآء: one of them says, خَصَيْتُكَ يَا ابْنَ حَمْزَةَ بِالقَوَافِىكَمَا يُخْصَى مِنَ الحَلَقِ الحِمَارُ [(tropical:)  I have emasculated thee, O son of Hamzeh, with rhymes, like as the he-ass is emasculated in consequence of the disease termed حَلَق; for which, it is asserted, (as is said in the TA, art. حلق,) there is no remedy but gelding]. (IB, TA.) 4 اخصى [as though meaning (assumed tropical:)  He did away with that which rendered him like one emasculated; the ا, app., having a privative property;] (tropical:)  he learned one science. (Sgh, K, TA.) b2:  The use of إِخْصَآءٌ [its inf. n.] in the sense of خِصَآءٌ inf. n. of خَصَى is a mistake. (Mgh.) 8 اختصى He castrated himself; or made himself a eunuch. (KL.) خَصٍ Having a complaint of his خُصَى [or testicles]. (K.) خُصْىٌ; and the dual خُصْيَانِ: see خُصْيَةٌ, in five places.خِصْىٌ: see what next follows.خُصْيَةٌ A testicle; (El-Umawee, S;) sing. of خُصًى; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) it is [one] of the organs of generation; (K;) well known; (Msb;) and ↓ خِصْيَةٌ signifies the same, (S, K,) and so does ↓ خُصْىٌ, (Msb, K,) and ↓ خِصْىٌ; (K;) and خُصْوَةٌ is a dial. var., occurring in a trad., but is extr.: (Sh, TA:) accord. to some, (Msb,) the sing. is خُصْيَةٌ [alone], (T, Msb,) of the fem. gender; (T, TA;) and the dual is ↓ خُصْيَانِ, (ElUmawee, T, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) of the masc. gender, (T, TA,) without ت, (El-Umawee, S, Mgh, Msb,) irreg., (El-Umawee, S, Msb,) like أَلْيَانِ dual of أَلْيَةٌ, (El-Umawee, S,) and خُصْيَتَانِ also, (T, Mgh, K,) this latter being sometimes used, (T, Mgh,) though rarely, (MF on the authority of the Expositions of the Fs,) both  mentioned by ISh: (T, TA:) AO says, I have heard خُصْيَة, with damm, but I have not heard ↓ خِصْيَة, with kesr; and I have heard ↓ خُصْيَاهُ [as the dual], though they did not use ↓ خُصْىٌ as the sing.; (S;) IB, however, cites exs. of this last as a sing.: (TA:) AA says that الخُصْيَتَانِ signifies the two testicles; and ↓ اَخُصْيَانِ, the two skins [which compose the scrotum, i. e.,] in which are the two testicles; citing an ex. in which the latter dual is used in this sense; (S;) and ISk says the like; whereas IKoot makes الخُصْيَةُ to signify [the scrotum, i. e.] the skin containing the testicle. (Msb.) b2:  Also (tropical:)  An earring (قُرْطٌ) in the ear: (JK, Sgh, K:) thus called by way of comparison: (TA:) pl. خُصًى. (JK.) خِصْيَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.خَصِىٌّ Whose testicles have been drawn forth, or extracted; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) [gelded, or castrated; a eunuch;] applied to a sheep or goat, and a horse or similar beast, (TA,) and a man (S, TA) or boy, (TA,) or a slave; (Msb;) as also ↓ مَخْصِىٌّ: (K:) pl. خِصْيَانٌ (S, Mgh, K) and خِصْيَةٌ: (S, K:) in giving it the former pl., they liken it to a subst., like ظَلِيمٌ, of which the pl. is ظِلْمَانٌ: so says Sb; meaning that فِعْلَانٌ is generally the pl. of فَعِيلٌ as a subst. (TA.) One says also خَصِىٌّ نَصِىٌّ; using the latter word as an imitative sequent. (Lh, TA.) b2: Also (tropical:)  Poetry in which is no amatory effusion. (K, TA.) خَاصٍ [act. part. n. of 1]. They say, جَآءَ كَخَاصِىالعَيْرِ [lit. He came like the gelder of the ass], meaning he came ashamed: (JK, and TA in art. جوج:) and also, disappointed, or unsuccessful. (TA in that art.) مَخْصًى The place of cutting [or gelding or castration]. (S.) مَخْصِىٌّ: see خَصِىٌّ.
