Full Definition

رَاضٍ , of which the pl. is رُضَاةٌ; and رَضِىٌّ , of which the pl. is أَرْضِيَآءُ and رُضَاةٌ, the latter pl. on the authority of Lh, but extr. as pl. of رَضِىٌّ, and in my opinion, [says ISd,] it is pl. of رَاضٍ only; and رَضٍ , of which the pl. is رَضُونَ; Pleased, well pleased, content, contented, or satisfied; regarding with good will, or favour; liking, or approving.
2 عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ means مَرْضِيَّةٌ [i. e. A state, or sort, of life that is found pleasing, well pleasing, contenting, or satisfying; or with which one is pleased, &c.; or that is liked, or approved]: or, accord. to Sb, رَاضِيَةٌ is, in this case, a possessive epithet, meaning ذَاتُ رِضًى [i. e. having approvedness; رِضًى being here an Verbal.Noun of رُضِيَتْ].
