عَائِضٌ

Root: عوض

Full Definition

عَائِضٌ in the saying of Aboo-Mohammad ElFak'asee, i. e. in the following saying, هَلْ لَكِ وَالعَارِضُ مِنْكِ عَائِضُ فِى هَجْمَةٍ يُغْدِرُ مِنْهَا القَابِضُ (S, O, TA, in this art. and in art. عرض,) is of the measure فَاعِلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, like [the epithet in the phrase] عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ, meaning مَرْضِيَّةٌ: As says that the poet is addressing a woman whom he is desirous of marrying, saying, Art thou in want, of a hundred camels which I will assign to thee as a dowry, some whereof the [quick] driver will abandon, not being able to collect them together because of their large number? (S in art. عرض: [and the like is said in the O, as on the authority of Lth: but I have made a transposition in the explanation, directed in the TA, to make it agree with the order of the words of the verse:]) or the meaning is, and the giver of a thing in exchange for the enjoyment of thee receiveth an exchange from thee by marriage which is equal to that which he giveth in exchange for thee; عائض being from عِضْتُ, not from عُضْتُ: [so that, accord. to this explanation, it is used in the sense of its own proper measure, فَاعِلٌ:] but IB says that the phrase, in his poetry, is وَالعائِضُ مِنْكِ عَائِضُ, meaning the thing given in exchange by thee will be [indeed] a substitute, or a compensation; like as you say الهِبَةُ مِنْكَ هِبَةٌ: (TA in art. عرض:) the verse is also related differently, with مِائَةٍ in the place of هَجْمَةٍ, and يُسْئِرُ in the place of يُغْدِرُ.
2 See also عَوْضُ, in two places.
