Translation:

Kesceharire is Arabic for Latin oripilatio {"bristling of hair"} according to the liber de doctrina arabica.


Commentary:

Simon’s often quoted source, the Liber de doctrina arabica, has so far not been identified, but cf, what must be a similar glossary/dictionary - Vocabulista - (ed. Schiaparelli) [[1]]: p. 161: ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻳﺮﺓ /qašʕarīra or qušʕarīra/ Oripilacio; p. 504: ORIPILATIO ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻳﺮﺓ /qašʕarīra or qušʕarīra/ …

Also: Dozy II, p. 350, quoting Vocabulista as one of his sources, s.v. ﻗﺸﻌﺮ /qšʕr/: ﻗﺸﻌﺮﺓﺍﻟﺠﻠﺪ /qašʕarat al-ğild/ "horripilation" … {lit. "shiver of the skin"}; ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻳﺔ /qšʕryah/ "frisson de peur" {"shiver with fear"}; ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻴﺭﺓ /qušaʕrīra/ «t. de médec. frisson dans le dos, qui précède la fièvre» {i.e. medical term: "shiver in the back which precedes a fever"}

Cf. Lane p. 2526: ﺍﺧﺬﺗﻪ ﻗﺸﻌﺮﻴﺭﺓ /aḫḏathu qušaʕrīra/ "a tremor, quaking, or quivering, of the skin" {lit. "a shiver has seized him"}

Latin horripilatio is a compound of horri- {compound form of "horror"} + -pil- {pilus "hair"} + -atio nominal ending.
