Full Definition
غَادِرٌ
and
[respecting which see below] and
غَدُورٌ and
غَدَّارٌ and
are epithets applied to a man [and signifying, the first, Perfidious, unfaithful, faithless, or treacherous; or acting perfidiously, &c.; and the rest, very perfidious, &c.]: and
غَدُورٌ and
غَدَّارٌ and
غَدَّارَةٌ are epithets applied to a woman [and signifying as above]: but
is mostly used in calling to a man and reviling him: you say to a man, يَا غُذَرُ [O very perfidious man]; and in like manner, يَا , and
يا , and
يَا ٱبْنَ , and
يا ابن , all determinate; and to a woman, يا غَدَارِ , like قَطَامِ: [accord. to some, is only used in this manner, and is therefore without tenween; for] it is said that رَجُلٌ غُدَرُ is not allowable, because غُدَرُ is determinate: but Sh says رَجُلٌ غُدَرٌ, writing it, says Az, with tenween, contr. to what Lth says; and this is correct; a word of the measure فُعَل being imperfectly decl. [only] when it is a determinate subst., like عُمَرُ and زُفَرُ: and IAth says that غُدَرُ is altered from its original form, which is غَادِرٌ, for the sake of intensiveness: in the pl. [sense] you say يَالَ غُدَرَ, or يَا لَغُدَرَ, [for يَا آلَ غُدَرَ, (see the letter ل, and see آلٌ, in art. اول,)] like يَا لَفُجَرَ. It is said in a trad., أَلَسْتُ أَسْعَى فِى يَا [app. meaning, O thou very perfidious: am I not striving, or labouring, in respect of thine act of perfidy, to rectify it?]. (S: but in one copy, غُدْرَتِكَ.) And in another trad., relating to El-Hodeybiyeh, وَهَلْ
غُدَرُ يَا
إِلَّا بِٱلْأَمْسِ
غَسَلْتَ [O thou very perfidious: and didst thou wash away thine act of perfidy save yesterday?]: said by 'Orweh Ibn-Mes'ood to El-Mugheereh. And in another trad., اِجْلِسْ غُدَرُ [Sit thou, O very perfidious]; for يَا غُدَرُ: said by 'Áïsheh to El-Kásim.
