غصص

Core meaning

What sticks in the throat: a food that does not go down, and that chokes instead of nourishing.

Uses

1. غُصَّةٍ → "that chokes" : qualifies a food that cannot be swallowed.

   • «وَطَعَامًۭا ذَا غُصَّةٍۢ» — "and food that chokes" (73:13)

Evidence from the text

The single use is found in a list of what is with God for those who deny: "shackles and a Blaze, and food that chokes, and a painful punishment" (73:12-13). The food keeps its form and loses its function: it blocks the throat instead of nourishing.
