Englishअप्सस् n. (-प्सः) (ved.) The same as रूप
esp. form, beauty.
E. Śākapūṇi, as quoted by Yāska, derives this word as a
Tatpur. from अ neg. and प्सस् (प्सा, probably uṇ. aff.
असुन्) and interprets it as meaning liter. ‘what ought to
be looked upon (आदर्शनीय)’ or ‘what ought to be diffused’
i. e. manifest to sight ‘व्यापनीयं वा स्पष्टं दर्शनाय’
but in
the latter acceptation probably from अप् (comp. the E. of
अप्त) and implying perhaps the meaning of ईप्सित.
