رِئْدٌ A sucker, an offset, or a shoot from the root, of a tree: or a soft, or tender, branch, or twig, thereof: pl. رِئْدَانٌ.
2 Also i. q. تِرْبٌ, i. e. An equal in age, of a female, and of a man, but mostly used in relation to females: sometimes, [in poetry,] رِيدٌ, with the ء suppressed, for the sake of the rhyme; as in in a verse of Kutheiyir cited voce أُصْدَةٌ: pl. أَرْآدٌ.
