Abstract
This research depends on the past to emphasis its technical value as we believe that the past is the bright page through which approach the present. It studies the " branding= wasem " in the collections of the pre Islamic poets as well as those who had lived during the pre Islamic and the Islamic era. Branding is done with an iron tool, that is heated by fire, put on a certain position of the animal skin, the trace would follow the branding iron shape. Studying the semantic of the term " brand = wasem " in the pre- Islamic poetry we found that the real semantic is specialized to animal, and that the figurative semantic goes to Man. For the real semantic the brand is put on the animal nick, front or nose or any other position to identify the animal or to distinguish it. The figurative semantic is founded in the different subjects of poetry :- praise, pride or courtly poetry, the poet branded his foe with satire to be satire, himself with oldness because it is a clear characteristics and the woman for her beauty, man might be called " waseem= handsome" if he had a fix feature of beauty. Of the derivations of the term " wasem" we have the " mawasem= seasons " because people are gathered in certain places and time of the year, and " wasmy= rainy" because the rain helps the beautiful flowers to grow up and the land would flourished with green plants
