Full Definition
فُرَادٌ
[is most properly regarded as a quasi-pl. n., rather than as a pl., of فَرْدٌ; and فُرَادُ is similar to it in meaning]. One says, جَاؤُوا فُرَاداً, and
فُرَادَى , with tenween and without it, and فُرَادَ, like ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ, and
فَرَادَ , and فِرَاداً [a pl. of
,] and
فَرْدَى , [and
, perhaps thus by poetic license, see an ex. in a verse cited voce مُرْسِمٌ,] They came one by one; one at a time; one after another: AZ relates that the Kilábees said, جِئْتُمُونَا
فُرَاداً [Ye came to us one by one; or one after another]: and هُمْ فُرَادٌ وَأَزْوَاجٌ [They are separate persons and pairs], with tenween: and the Arabs said قَوْمٌ فُرَادُ, imperfectly decl., likened to ثُلاَثُ and رُبَاعُ, [A party composed of separate persons, disposed by ones, or one after another,] and
فُرَادَى , which latter is said by Fr to be a pl.: and the sing. [he adds] is
فَرَدٌ and
and
فَرِيدٌ and
فَرْدَانُ : but
, or
, (so in the K accord. to the TA, [in the CK فُرْدٌ,]) in this sense, [i. e. in the pl. sense] is not allowable.
