وعد
1 وَعَدَ,
aor. ـِ
inf. n. وَعْدٌ and عِدَةٌ, (
S,
L,
Msb,
K,) [in which the ة is a substitute for the elided و,] or the latter is a quasi-
inf. n., (
L,) and مَوْعِدٌ and مَوْعِدَةٌ, (
L,
Msb,
K,) or the last is a quasi-
inf. n., (
L,) and مَوْعُودٌ and مَوْعُودَةٌ, (
L,
K,) the last two being instances of
inf. ns. of the measures مَفْعُولٌ and مَفْعوُلَةٌ, (
L,) He promised. (
TA.) It is
trans. immediately, and by means of the
prep. ب; (
L,
Msb,
K;) but some say that the ب is redundant in this case; and most of the lexicologists disallow it with this form of the verb, allowing it only with أَوْعَدَ. (
TA.) It is also used with reference to good and evil: (
S,
L,
Msb,
K:) you say وَعَدَهُ خَيْرًا [He promised him good]: and وَعَدَهُ شَرًّا (
tropical:) [He threatened him with evil]: (
Fr,
Fs,
S,
L,
Msb,
K, &c.:) and, [
accord. to some,] وعده بِخَيْرٍ, and بِشَرّ. (
IKoot,
Msb.) When neither good nor evil is mentioned, if you mean the former, you say وَعَدَ [He promised good]: and if you mean the latter, ↓ أَوْعَدَ, (
Fr,
T,
S,
L,
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. إِيعَادٌ, with which وَعِيدٌ is
syn., (
S,
L,
Msb,
K,) being one irregular
inf. n., [or quasiinf.
n.,] (
Msb,) [He threatened,] or threatened with, evil]; and ↓ أَوْعَدَهُ [He threatened him, menaced him, or threatened him with evil]; (
Msb;) as also ↓ توعّدهُ, (
L,
Msb,)
inf. n. تَوَعُّدٌ; (
S,
L,
K;) and ↓ اتّعدهُ. (
L.) You also say خَيْرًا ↓ اوعد [He promised good]; (
IAar,
T,
ISd,
Msb,
K;) but this is
extr.: (
L:) and بِشَرٍّ ↓ اوعد [He threatened, or threatened with, evil]: (
S,
L,
Msb,
K:) when ب is introduced after this form of the verb, it relates only to evil: (
Fs,
Msb:) but you also say شَرًّا ↓ اوعده. (
Msb.)
b2: Failure of performance, with respect to a promise, the Arabs regard as a lie; but with regard to a threat, as generosity. A poet says, وَإِنِّى وَإِنْ أَوْعَدْتُهُ أَوْ وَعَدْتُهُ لَمُخْلِفُ إِيعَادِى وَمُنْجِزُ مَوْعِدِى

L,
K. *)
b3: وَاعَدهُ الوقْتَ, and المَوْضِعَ, [He appointed with him the time, and the place]. (
L,
K.) أَوْعَدَنِى مَوْعِدًا is a vulgar mistake. (Aboo-Bekr,
L.) 4 أَوْعَدَ see 1 throughout.
A2: اوعد, (
A,
L,)

tropical:) He (a stallion-camel) brayed, (هَدَرَ,
S,
A, &c.) on his being about to attack and fight with other camels. (
S,

6 تواعدوا and ↓ اتّعدوا signify the same, [They promised one another]: (
K *,
TA:) or the former relates to good, (
S,
Msb,
K,) signifying they promised one another something good: (

Msb,) and the latter, to evil, (
S,
L,
K,) signifying they threatened one another: (
L:) and this distinction is commonly admitted and observed. (

inf. n. إِتِّعَادٌ, (
S,
L,
K,) He accepted a promise: (
S,
A,
L,
K:) originally إِوْتَعَدَ; the و being changed into ت and then incorporated [into the augmentative ت]: some persons say ائْتَعَدَ,
aor. ـْ (
inf. n. ائْتِعَادٌ,
TA) and pronounce the
act. part. n. مُؤْتَعِدٌ, with ء; (
S,
L,
K;) like as they say يَأْتَسِرُ: (
S,
L:) but [if they do not change the و into ت] they should say إِيتَعَدَ, and يَاتَعِدُ, and مُوتَعِدٌ, without وَعُدَ. (
IB,
L.)
b2: Also, He confided in the promise of another. (
L.)
b3: See also 1:

L.) When عِدَة is used as a prefixed
n., [in a case of wasl,] the ة is elided, (
Fr,
S,
L,) and ى is substituted for it: (
Fr,
L:) a poet says, وَأَخْلَفُوكَ عِدَى الْأَمْرِ الَّذِى وَعَدُوا [And they have broken to thee the promise of the thing which they promised]. (
Fr,
S,
L.)
b2: عَطِيَّةٌ ↓ العِدَةُ [A promise is equivalent to a gift]: i. e., it is base to break it as it is to take back a gift. A proverb. (
TA.)
b3: الثريَّا ↓ وَعَدَهُ عِدَةَ بِالقَمَرِ [He promised him as the moon promises the Pleiades]: for the moon and the Pleiades are in
conjunction once in every month. Another proverb. (
TA.) [Perhaps we may also read عِدَّةَ الثُّزَيَّا القَمَرَ: see مدَاد, in art. عد.]
b4: إِخْلَافُ الوَعْدِ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الوَغْدِ [The breaking of a promise is one of the natural habits of the mean and base]. A saying of the Arabs. (
