Full Definition

عاداهُIII , Verbal.Noun مُعَادَاةٌ, [He treated him, or regarded him, with enmity, or hostility:] the verb in this phrase is that of which the epithet is عَدُوٌّ, and the subst. is عَدَاوَةٌ. [It is perhaps from one of the three phrases next following].
2 عادى الشَّىْءَ signifies He was, or became, distant, or aloof, from the thing; or he made the thing to be, or become, distant, or aloof; syn. بَاعَدَهُ. And you say, فُلَانٌ لَا يُعَادِينِى وَلَا يُوَادِينِى, meaning لَا يُجَافِينِى وَلَا يُوَاتِينِى [app. Such a one will not make me to be, or become, remote, or aloof, from him, nor will he comply with me: but لَا يُوَادِينِى properly signifies he will not take from me the دِيَة, or bloodwit]. And عَادِ رِجْلَكَ عَنِ الأَرْضِ Draw away thy leg, or foot, from the ground. And عَادَى الأَدَاةَ عَنِ البَعِيرِ He raised [partially] the furniture from contact with the camel [so as to render it bearable by him]. (ISh, TA in art. غلق.)
3 عادى شَعَرَهُ He took [somewhat] from his hair: or he raised it, in washing it: or he neglected it, and did not oil it, or anoint it: or he subjected it time after time to the purification termed وُضُوع, and to washing.
4 عادى الوِسَادَةَ He folded the pillow.
5 عادى القِدْرَ He lowered one of the three stones upon which the cooking-pot rested, in order that it might incline upon the fire.
6 عادى بَيْنَ الصَّيْدَينِ, Verbal.Noun عِدَآءٌ and مُعَادَاةٌ, He made a succession, of one to the other, between the two animals of the chase, by throwing down one of them immediately after the other, in one طَلَق [or heat]. Imra-el-Keys says, [describing a horse,] فَعَادَى عِدَآءً بَيْنَ ثَوْرٍ وَنَعْجَةٍ دِرَاكًا وَلَمْ يَنْضَحْ بِمَآءٍ فَيُغْسَلِ [And he made a succession, of one to the other, between a wild bull and a wild cow, by running down one after the other in a single heat, overtaking uninterruptedly, and not breaking out with water so as to become suffused therewith]. In like manner also المُعَادَاةُ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ means The piercing, or thrusting, two men, one after the other, uninterruptedly.
7 And عَادَيْتُهُ [sometimes] signifies I vied, or contended, with him in running; i. q. حَاضَرْتُهُ, from الحُضْرُ. (A in art. حضر.)
