عَنَدٌ

Root: عند

Full Definition

عَنَدٌ The side [of a thing]; syn. جَانِبٌ. (S, A, O, L, K. [See also عِنْدٌ, first sentence.]) One says, يَمْشِى وَسَطًا لَا عَنَدًا [He walks in the middle, not on, or at, one side]. And عَنَدَهْ, [for عَنَدَهُ,] occurring at the end of a verse [of which I find several different readings, and which I have cited accord. to one of those readings voce حُبَارَى], means by its side: but Th says, in explaining that verse, as describing the حُبَارَى teaching its young one to fly, that العَنَدُ signifies الاِعْتِرَاضُ: [so that عَنَدَهْ there, accord. to him, app. means اِعْتِرَاضًا لَهُ, which may be rendered presenting itself before it:] or, accord. to As, [عَنَدَهْ there means imitating its actions in flying; for he says that] عَنَدٌ is a subst. from عَانَدَ الحُبَارَى فَرْخَهُ [expl. above: see 3].
