From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root وعد. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

وَعَدَ , aor. يَعِدُ , inf. n. وَعْدٌ and عِدَةٌ , (S, L, Msb, K,) [in which the ة is a substitute for the elided و ,] or the latter is a quasi-inf. n., (L,) and مَوْعِدٌ and مَوْعِدَةٌ , (L, Msb, K,) or the last is a quasi-inf. n., (L,) and مَوْعُودٌ and مَوْعُودَةٌ , (L, K,) the last two being instances of inf. ns. of the measures مَفْعُولٌ and مَفْعوُلَةٌ , (L,) He promised. (TA.) It is trans. immediately, and by means of the prep. ب ; (L, Msb, K;) but some say that the ب is redundant in this case; and most of the lexicologists disallow it with this form of the verb, allowing it only with أَوْعَدَ . (TA.) It is also used with reference to good and evil: (S, L, Msb, K:) you say وَعَدَهُ خَيْرًا [He promised him good]: and وَعَدَهُ شَرًّا (tropical:) [He threatened him with evil]: (Fr, Fs, S, L, Msb, K, &c.:) and, [accord. to some,] وعده بِخَيْرٍ , and بِشَرّ . (IKoot, Msb.) When neither good nor evil is mentioned, if you mean the former, you say وَعَدَ [He promised good]: and if you mean the latter, ↓ أَوْعَدَ , (Fr, T, S, L, Msb, K,) inf. n. اـِيعَادٌ , with which وَعِيدٌ is syn., (S, L, Msb, K,) being one irregular inf. n., [or quasiinf. n.,] (Msb,) [He threatened,] or threatened with, evil]; and ↓ أَوْعَدَهُ [He threatened him, menaced him, or threatened him with evil]; (Msb;) as also ↓ توعّدهُ , (L, Msb,) inf. n. تَوَعُّدٌ ; (S, L, K;) and ↓ اتّعدهُ . (L.) You also say خَيْرًا ↓ اوعد [He promised good]; (IAar, T, ISd, Msb, K;) but this is extr.: (L:) and بِشَرٍّ ↓ اوعد [He threatened, or threatened with, evil]: (S, L, Msb, K:) when ب is introduced after this form of the verb, it relates only to evil: (Fs, Msb:) but you also say شَرًّا ↓ اوعده . (Msb.) ― -b2- Failure of performance, with respect to a promise, the Arabs regard as a lie; but with regard to a threat, as generosity. A poet says, وَاـِنِّى وَاـِنْ أَوْعَدْتُهُ أَوْ وَعَدْتُهُ لَمُخْلِفُ اـِيعَادِى وَمُنْجِزُ مَوْعِدِى [And verily I, if I threaten him or promise him, fail to perform my threat, but fulfil my promise]. (Msb.) Nay, they do not apply the term خُلْفٌ to the failure of performing a threat. (TA.) ― -b3- يَوْمُنَا يَعِدُ بَرْدًا (tropical:) Our day promises cold. (L.) ― -b4- وَعَدَتِ الأَرض (tropical:) The land promised good produce. (A.) ― -b5- وَاعَدَهُ فَوَعَدَهُ : see 3.

واعدهُ , inf. n. مُوَاعَدَةٌ , He promised him, the latter doing the same to him. (Aboo-Mo'ádh, L.) ― -b2- وَاعَدَهُ فَوَعَدَهُ He vied with him in promising, and surpassed him therein, by promising more. (L, K. *) ― -b3- وَاعَدهُ الوقْتَ , and المَوْضِعَ , [He appointed with him the time, and the place]. (L, K.) أَوْعَدَنِى مَوْعِدًا is a vulgar mistake. (Aboo-Bekr, L.)

أَوْعَدَ see 1 throughout. -A2- اوعد , (A, L,) inf. n. اـِيعَادٌ , (L,) in the sense of which وَعِيدٌ is also used [as a quasi-inf. n.], (S, A, L, K) (tropical:) He (a stallion-camel) brayed, ( هَدَرَ , S, A, &c.) on his being about to attack and fight with other camels. (S, A, L.)

تَوَعَّدَ see 1.

تواعدوا and ↓ اتّعدوا signify the same, [They promised one another]: (K *, TA:) or the former relates to good, (S, Msb, K,) signifying they promised one another something good: (S, Msb,) and the latter, to evil, (S, L, K,) signifying they threatened one another: (L:) and this distinction is commonly admitted and observed. (TA.) ― -b2- تَواَعَدْنَا المَوْضِعَ , [and الوَقْتَ , We appointed mutually the place, and the time]. (Msb.)

اتّعد , (A,) [aor. يَتَّعِدُ ,] inf. n. اـِتِّعَادٌ , (S, L, K,) He accepted a promise: (S, A, L, K:) originally اـِوْتَعَدَ ; the و being changed into ت and then incorporated [into the augmentative ت ]: some persons say ا@يءْتَعَدَ , aor. يَأْتَعِدُ , (inf. n. ا@يءْتِعَادٌ , TA) and pronounce the act. part. n. مُوءْتَعِدٌ , with ء ; (S, L, K;) like as they say يَأْتَسِرُ : (S, L:) but [if they do not change the و into ت ] they should say اـِيتَعَدَ , and يَاتَعِدُ , and مُوتَعِدٌ , without وَعُدَ . (IB, L.) ― -b2- Also, He confided in the promise of another. (L.) ― -b3- See also 1: ― -b4- and 6.

وَعْدٌ and ↓ عِدَةٌ (in which latter the ة is a substitute for the [elided] و , S, L) and ↓ مَوْعِدٌ and ↓ مَوْعِدَةٌ and ↓ مَوْعُودٌ (A) and ↓ مَوْعُودَةٌ : (L:) see 1: A promising; a promise; (A, L;) meaning, of something good: (S, L, &c.:) pl. of the first, وُعُودٌ ; (IJ, L;) or this has no pl.: (T, S, L, Msb:) and of the second, عِدَاتٌ : (T, S, L, Msb:) (and of the ↓ third, مَوَاعِدُ :] and of ↓ موعود , مَوَاعِيدُ . (L.) When عِدَة is used as a prefixed n., [in a case of wasl,] the ة is elided, (Fr, S, L,) and ى is substituted for it: (Fr, L:) a poet says, وَأَخْلَفُوكَ عِدَى ا@لْأَمْرِ ا@لَّذِى وَعَدُوا [And they have broken to thee the promise of the thing which they promised]. (Fr, S, L.) ― -b2- عَطِيَّةٌ ↓ العِدَةُ [A promise is equivalent to a gift]: i. e., it is base to break it as it is to take back a gift. A proverb. (TA.) ― -b3- الثريَّا ↓ وَعَدَهُ عِدَةَ بِالقَمَرِ [He promised him as the moon promises the Pleiades]: for the moon and the Pleiades are in conjunction once in every month. Another proverb. (TA.) [Perhaps we may also read عِدَّةَ الثُّزَيَّا القَمَرَ : see مدَاد , in art. عد .] ― -b4- اـِخْلَافُ الوَعْدِ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الوَغْدِ [The breaking of a promise is one of the natural habits of the mean and base]. A saying of the Arabs. (MF.) ― -b5- وَعْدٌ also signifies The fulfilment of a promise. Ex. مَتَى هٰذَا الوَعْدُ , in the Kur, [x. 49, &c.] means, When shall be the fulfilment of this promise? (L.) ― -b6- Also, a thing promised. (TK, art. نجز .)

عِدَةٌ : see وَعْدٌ , and 1.

عِدِىٌّ Of, or relating or belonging to, a promise: rel. n. of عِدَةٌ , like زِنِىٌّ of زِنَةٌ , formed without restoring the و like as it is restored in [the rel. n. of] شِيَةٌ : [see art. شيو :] but Fr says عِدَوِىٌّ and زِنَوِىٌّ , like شِيَوِىٌّ . (S, L.)

وَعِيدٌ : see 1: A threatening; a threat: (S, L, K:) also written وِعِيدٌ . (TA.) See also 4.

(tropical:) See an ex. in a verse cited voce مَصْدَق . ― -b3- (tropical:) A tree, or herbage, promising good produce. (A.) ― -b4- (tropical:) A cloud, which, as it were, promises rain. (L, K.) ― -b5- (tropical:) A day which promises heat; (L;) as also a year: (TA:) or of which the commencement promises heat; or cold. (S, L, K.) ― -b6- أَرْضٌ وَاعِدَةٌ (tropical:) Land of which the herbage is hoped to prove good and productive, (As, S, A, L, K,) by reason of its first appearance. (As, L.)

مَوْعِدٌ signifies A covenant, or compact. So, accord. to Mujáhid, in ch. xx. vv. 89 and 90, of the Kur-án. (L.) ― -b2- مَوْعِدٌ and مَوْعِدَةٌ : see 1, and وَعْدٌ . ― -b3- See also مِيعَادٌ .

مِيعَادٌ (S, A, L, Msb, K) and ↓ مَوْعِدٌ (S, A, L, Msb) A time, and a place, of promise: (S, A, L, Msb, K:) [and , of appointment; an appointed time, and place]. ― -b2- مِيعَادٌ A mutual promising, or promise. (S, K.)

مَوْعُودٌ and مَوْعُودَةٌ : see 1, and وَعْدٌ ― -b2- اليَوْمُ الموعود [The promised day; meaning] the day of resurrection. (TA.) ― -b3- مَعْهُودٌ وَمَشْهُودٌ وَمَوْعُودٌ Past and present and future: the tenses of a verb. (Kh, in L, art. عهد .) ― -b4- مَوْعُودٌ is one of the inf. ns. which have pls. governing as verbs; its pl. being مَوَاعِيدُ . Ex. مَوَاعِيدَ عُرْقوب أَخَاهُ بِيَثْرِبَ [As 'Orkoob's promisings of his brother in Yethrib.] (IJ, ISd.) See عُرْقُوبٌ .
