Full Definition
عَائِدٌ
A visiter of one who is sick: thus it more commonly and especially means: but it also signifies any visiter of another, who comes time after time: pl. عُوَّادٌ and
عَوْدٌ , or [rather] عَوْدٌ and عُوَّادٌ signify the same, like زَوْرٌ and زُوَّارٌ, but عَوْدٌ is a quasi-pl. n. like as صَحْبٌ is of صَاحِبٌ: the fem. is عَائِدَةٌ, of which the pl. is عُوَّدٌ, incorrectly said in the K to be a pl. of عَائِدٌ; and عَوَائِدُ also is a pl. of the fem.
