Full Definition

وَحِيدٌ and مُتَوَحِّدٌ and وَحَدٌ and وَحِدٌ and وَحْدٌ and وَاحِدٌ A man alone; by himself; apart from others; solitary; lonely: as also أَحَدٌ: or, accord. to Az, one should not say رَجُلٌ أَحَدٌ, nor دِرْهَمٌ أَحَدٌ, nor شَىْءٌ أَحَدٌ, though some of the lexicologists assert that أَحَدٌ is originally وَحَدٌ: for أَحَدٌ is an epithet applied to God alone: the fem. epithet used in this sense is وَحِدَةٌ: and وَاحِدٌ in this sense receives the dual form: and the pl. is وُحْدَانٌ and أَحْدَانٌ and وِحَادٌ. رَجُلٌ وَحِيدٌ A man who has no one to cheer him by his society, conversation, or company. And رَجُلٌ مُتَوَحِّدٌ A man who remains alone, by himself, apart from others, or solitary, not mixing with other people, not sitting with them. See also وَحْدٌ.
