البؤس والبأس والبأساء: الشدة والمكروه، إلا أن البؤس في الفقر والحرب أكثر، والبأس والبأساء في النكاية، نحو: والله أشد بأسا وأشد تنكيلا [النساء/ 84] ، فأخذناهم بالبأساء والضراء [الأنعام/ 42] ، والصابرين في البأساء والضراء وحين البأس [البقرة/ 177] ، وقال تعالى:
الباء والهمزة والسين أصل واحد، والشدة و [ما] ضارعها. فالبأس الشدة في الحرب. ورجل ذو بأس وبئيس أي شجاع. وقد بأس بأسا فإن نعته بالبؤس قلت بؤس. والبؤس: الشدة في العيش. والمبتئس المفتعل من الكراهة والحزن. قال:
