2 And عاندهُ, Verbal.Noun مُعَانَدَةٌ and عِنَادٌ, He opposed him, disagreeing with him, or doing the contrary of what he did; as also ; syn. عَارَضَهُ; (S, O, Msb, all in explanation of the former; [but it should be observed that عارضه bears the signification expressed above and also that given in the sentence next following;]) or عَارَضَهُ بِالخِلَافِ; or خَالَفَهُ: [this is the sense in which the former is most commonly known: or as meaning he contended with him in an altercation; or did so vehemently, or obstinately: ] the author of the T, however, says, the common people expl. يُعَانِدُهُ as meaning he does the contrary of what he [another] does; but this I know not [as occurring in the genuine language of the Arabs], nor do I admit it as of established authority.

4 عاندهُ, Verbal.Noun مُعَانَدَةٌ, also signifies He kept, or clave, to him, or it: the contr. of the first signification assigned to it above.
5 And مُعَانَدَةٌ means also The disputing with another without knowledge of the truth or falsity of what he himself says and also of what his opponent says.
