حَيْضَةٌ

Root: حيض

Full Definition

حَيْضَةٌ A single time, or turn, of menstruation, or of the flow of the menstrual blood: pl. حِيَضٌ; like as بِدَرٌ is pl. of بَدْرَةٌ, and ضِيَعٌ of ضَيْعَةٌ, and حِيَدٌ of حَيْدَةٌ, and خِيَمٌ of خَيْمَةٌ; though by rule it should be حَيْضَاتٌ. You say, حَاضَتْ حَيْضَةً وَاحِدَةً [She menstruated one single time of menstruation]: and حَيْضَةً طَوِيلَةً [a long single time thereof]: and ثَلَاثَ حِيَضٍ [three single times thereof].
2 As used by the professors of practical law, The accustomed days thereof.
3 Also A single flow [of water &c.]: pl. حَيْضَاتٌ.
