Full Definition

عَائِذٌ [part. n. of 1]. عَائِذٌ بِٱللّٰهِ occurs in a trad. as meaning أَنَا عَائِذٌ [i. e. I am seeking protection, or preservation, by God; &c.]. And one says, اَللّٰهُمَّ عَائِذًا بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوْءٍ, meaning, accord. to Az, أَعُوذُ بِكَ عَائِذًا [lit. O God, I seek protection, or preservation, by Thee, &c., seeking, &c., from every evil]: but accord. to Sb, in the phrase عَائِذًا بِٱللّٰهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا, the word عائذا is put in the place of the Verbal.Noun [as an absolute complement of أَعُوذُ understood; so that the meaning is, I seek protection, or preservation, by God, with earnest seeking &c., from her, or its, evil, or mischief].
2 Also A female gazelle, and a she-camel, and a mare, and any female, that has recently brought forth; as also مُعْوِذٌ and : or any female that has brought forth within seven days: because her young one has recourse to her for protection; so that it is of the measure فَاعِلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; or, as some say, it is a possessive epithet, meaning ذَاتُ عَوْذٍ: or, accord. to Az, a she-camel that has brought forth some days before; accord. to some, seven days: or a female gazelle, and a she-camel, and a mare, that has brought forth within ten days, or fifteen days, or thereabout; after which she is called مُطْفِلٌ: pl. عُوذٌ and عُوذَانٌ, like as حُولٌ is pl. of حَائِلٌ, and رُعْيَانٌ of رَاعٍ; [and عَوَائِذُ;] and from عُوذٌ is formed the pl. عُوذَاتٌ. [It is said that the phrase] وَمَعَهُمُ العُوذُ المَطَافِيلُ, occurring in a trad., means And with them the women and children. (L. [See another rendering voce مُطْفِلٌ.])
3 العَوَائِذُ is the name of Four stars, of the northern stars, forming an irregular quadrilateral figure, in the midst of which is a star [for كَوَاكِبُ, in the O and K, I read كَوْكَبٌ,] called الرُّبَعُ; the four stars in the head of التِّنِّين, [or Draco, which, app., like some other constellations, the Arabs figured somewhat differently from our astronomers,] in the midst of which is a very small star called by the Arabs الرُّبَعُ: they are between الذِّئْبَانِ [q. v. voce ذِئْبٌ] and النَّسْرُ الوَاقِعُ.
