An action or conduct like that of Alnaschar, the hero of a well-known story in the "Arabian Nights "; anything done during a day-dream or reverie. "With maternal alnascharism she had, in her reveries, thrown back her head with disdain, as she repulsed the family advances of some wealthy but low-born heiress." - Miss Edgeworth.
