زَائِدَةٌ

Root: زيد

Full Definition

زَائِدَةٌ [fem. of زَائِدٌ: and also a subst.; being transferred from the category of epithets to that of substs. by the affix ة: pl. زَوَائِدُ]: see زِيَادَةٌ, in five places.
2 [Hence,] الزَّوَائِدُ [Certain excrescences, or pendent hairs, termed] زَمَعَات, in the hinder part of the kind leg or foot. (K. [In the explanations there given, I read الرِّجْل, as in one copy, instead of الرَّحْل. It has been stated above, voce زِيَادَةٌ, on the authority of the L, that الزَّوَائِد is said only in relation to the legs of a beast.])
3 [But] ذُو الزَّوَائِدِ means The lion: by the زوائد being mean this claws and his canine teeth and his roaring and his impetuosity.
4 زَائِدَةُ السَّاقِ The shin-bone.
