Full Definition
جَدَادٌ
and
جِدَادٌ The cutting off of the fruit of palm-trees. You say, هٰذَا زَمَنُ الجَدَادِ and الجِدَادِ [This is the time, or season, of the cutting off of the fruit of the palmtrees]. Some say that جداد signifies particularly [as above,] the cutting off [of the fruit] of palm-trees; and جذاذ, the cutting off of all fruits, in a general sense: others say that they signify the same.
2 Also The time, or season, of the cutting off of the fruit of palm-trees. You say جَدَادٌ and جِدَادٌ, like صَرَامٌ and صِرَامٌ, and قَطَافٌ and قِطَافٌ; whence it seems as though the measures فَعَالٌ and فِعَالٌ were uniformly applicable to every noun signifying the time of the action; such nouns being likened to أَوَانٌ and إِوَانٌ.
