Full Definition

عَنُودٌ One who declines, or deviates, from the right way, or course; as also عَنِيدٌ . See also عَانِدٌ as applied to a camel.
2 A she-camel that deviates from the road by reason of her sprightliness and strength: pl. عُنُدٌ and عُنَّدٌ; or, as ISd thinks, this latter is pl. of عَانِدٌ , not of عَنُودٌ.
3 A she-camel that pastures aside; that does not mix with the other camels, but removes to a distance from them, and always pastures aside; as also عَانِدٌ and عَانِدَةٌ, that does not mix with the other camels, but is always apart from them; that is on one side of the other camels: pl. of the first عُنُدٌ; and of the second and third, عُنَّدٌ and عَوَانِدُ.
4 A she-camel that continues to be opposite to the other camels, [or by their side;] keeping pace with them: one that precedes them, or leads them, is termed سَلُوفٌ: so says El-Keysee: but accord. to ISd, عَنُودٌ is applied to a beast (دَابَّة), and to a wild ass, that precedes others in her pace.
5 A man who alights in a place by himself, and mixes not with other persons.
6 See also عَنِيدٌ.
