Headword:
*xezhtiw=n
Adler number: chi,182
Translated headword: shit-wishing
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning someone] wanting to shit.[1]
Aristophanes [writes]: "when some Patrokleides of you happens to be shit-wishing, he would not have let it out into his cloak, but would fly off, and farting and catching his breath he would fly back again."[2] Meaning he would retire to void his bowels. It seems Patrokleides was a politically minded and learned man, but otherwise dirtied his bed linens. Therefore "shitting" (
xesa=s) is also said.[3] And elsewhere
Aristophanes [writes]: "let someone summon
Antisthenes by any means; for that man knows what an arse-hole wants when it wants to take a shit."[4] This man
Antisthenes was an effeminate doctor.
"A cure of a much-shitting disease."[5]

Notes:
[1] The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given, is the masculine nominative singular, present active indicative, of the verb
xezhtia/w ("I want to shit"), a desiderative of
xe/zw. See Smyth ยง868 at web address 1.
