(ن) كَشَطَ يَكْشُطُ كَشْطًاkashaṭa yakshuṭu kashṭan: to flay a hide, to peel off from the surface — hence it carries the sense of a covering being removed in one pull. Only once in the Quran, in the passive voice: ﴿وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ﴾ (At-Takwīr 81:11) — that is, the sky will be pulled away as a hide is flayed.
