Full Definition
إِدَاوَةٌ
i. q.
مِطهَرَةٌ; i. e. A small vessel [or bag] of skin, made for water, like the
سَطِيحَة: or, as some say, only of two skins put face to face: pl. أَدَاوَى; originally, by rule, أَدَائِىُ; which is changed, as in the cases of مَطَايَا and خَطَايَا, from the measure فَعَائِلُ to the measure فَعَالَى, so that the و in أَدَاوَى is a substitute for the augmentative ا in the sing., and the final alif [written ى] in أَدَاوَى is a substitute for the و in the sing.
