عَادَةٌ

Full Definition

عَادَةٌ A custom, manner, habit, or wont; syn. دَأْبٌ, and وَتِيرَةٌ, or دَيْدَنٌ: so called because one returns to it time after time: it respects more especially actions; and عُرْفٌ, sayings; as in indicated in the Telweeh &c.; or, accord. to some, عُرْفٌ and عَادَةٌ are syn.: and accord. to El-Mufaddal, [ عِيدٌ signifies the same as عَادَةٌ; for he says that] عَادَنِى عِيدِى means عَادَتِى [i. e. My habit returned to me: but see the next preceding paragraph, first sentence]: the pl. of عَادَةٌ is عَادَاتٌ and عَادٌ , or rather this is a coll. gen. n., and عِيدٌ , mentioned by Kr, but not of valid authority, [app. a mistranscription for عِيَدٌ, like حِوَجٌ, a pl. of حَاجَةٌ,] and عَوَائِدُ, like as حَوَائِجُ is pl. of حَاجَةٌ; but, accord. to Z and others, this last is pl. of عَائِدَةٌ, not of عَادَةٌ.
