1. (obsolete) to rub off, to commote at by or as by the hand
   • a. 540, Imruʾ al-Qays, أمِنْ ذِكرِ سلمَى أنْ نأتْكَ تَنوصُ :

     وَذِي أُشُرٍ تَشُوقُهُ وَتَشُوصُ
     مَنَابِتُهُ مِثْلُ السُدُوسِ وَلَوْنُهُ
     كَشَوْكِ السِيَالِ فَهْوَ عَذْبٌ يَفِيصُ

     wa-ḏī ʔušurin tašūqu-hū wa-tašūṣu
     manābitu-hū miṯlu s-sudūsi wa-lawnu-hū
     ka-šawki s-siyāli fa-hwa ʕaḏbun yafīṣu

     And these between-times thrutch him to and fro and rapture,
     its plantings equalling woad and the colour it passes,
     like milk-vetch, it’s a thing with but a sweetness that lapses.

   • 7th century CE, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, 2:60:

     حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا قَامَ لِيَتَهَجَّدَ يَشُوصُ فَاهُ بِالسِّوَاكِ.

     ḥaddaṯanā ʔabū bakri bnu ʔabī šaybata, ḥaddaṯanā hušaymun, ʕan ḥuṣaynin, ʕan ʔabī wāʔilin, ʕan ḥuḏayfata, qāla kāna rasūlu l-lahi ʔiḏā qāma li-yatahajjada yašūṣu fā-hu bi-s-siwāki.

     The Prophet, when he stood up for nightly prayer, brushed his teeth with a stick from the toothbrush tree.
