Full Definition
بَدْرٌ
, originally an Verbal.Noun, The full moon; as also
بَادِرٌ ; the moon in its fourteenth night: or the latter signifies [simply] the moon: the moon in its fourteenth night is called بدر because it hastens to rise before the sun sets; and to set before the sun rises: or because of its fulness; as being likened to a بَدْرَة: or, as Er-Rághib thinks to be most probable, it is itself a primitive word: pl. بُدُورٌ. Hence, لَيْلَةُ البَدْرِ [The night of the full moon; which is] the fourteenth night [of the lunar month].
