خَالِدٌ

Root: خلد

Full Definition

خَالِدٌ [Remaining, staying, &c.].
2 [Hence,] الخَوَالِدُ [as though pl. of الخَالِدَةُ] The three pieces, or portions, of stone, or rock, called الأَثَافِى, upon which the cooking-pot is placed, remaining in their places: so called because of their remaining a long time after the standing relies of a house have become effaced. [See an ex., from a poem of ElMukhabbal Es-Saadee, voce إِلَّا, p. 78; where خوالد is with tenween for the sake of the metre.]
3 Also The mountains: and the stones: and the rocks: so called for the same reason.

def.2 [As a proper name, خَالِدٌ is often written خٰلِدٌ.]
