maṣdarبُدُوٌّ بَدْوٌ بَدَاوَةٌmuḍāriʿيَبْدُو

Core sense — it appeared, became apparent; an opinion arose in his mind; they went to the desertgenerated

1.1he, or it, came in sight, or within sight—تبدّى

maṣdar بُدُوٌّ, بَدْوٌ, بَدَآءٌ, بَدَآءَةٌ, and بَدًا, for which last some copies of the K give بُدُوٌّ, a repetition, or بُدُوْءٌ.

It appeared; it became apparent, open, plain, or evident.

[This signifies the same; or he showed himself, or it showed itself; see an example in art. جيش under جَاشَ, last sentence.]

1.1.1figurative · مجازan opinion presented itself to him, or arose in his mind—بَدَا لَهُ فِى الأَمْرِ

Maṣdar بَدْوٌ, بَدًا, and بَدَآءٌ, or بَدَآءَةٌ, and بَدَاةٌ, or بَدَا لَهُ فِى الأَمْرِ بَدَآءٌ, the last word being in the nominative case because it is the agent.

Synonym نَشَأَ. Or: an opinion appeared to him about the affair, or case, different from his first opinion, so that it turned him away from it; or there appeared to him, about the affair, what did not appear at first.

another opinion appeared to me—بَدَا لِى بَدَآءٌ

my opinion changed from what it was—بَدَا لِى بَدًا

then an opinion arose in their minds—ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوُا ٱلْآيَاتِ لَيَسْجُنَنَّهُ

So Fr.

So Az.

Esh-Shemmākh says: [Maybe — though it is right that the promise be fulfilled — an opinion different from your first opinion has arisen in your mind about that young she-camel]

shāhid

لَعَلَّكَ وَ المَوْعُودُ حَقٌّ وَفَاؤُهُبَدَا لَكَ فِى تِلْكَ القَلُوصِ بَدَآءُ

In the Kur 12:35, meaning بَدَا لَهُمْ بَدَآءٌ وَقَالُوا لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُ [i.e. then an opinion arose in their minds, after they had seen the signs of his innocence, and they said that they should certainly imprison him], because ليسجننّه, being a proposition, cannot be the agent. So says Sb.

God determined that He would slay them—بَدَا لِلّهِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُمْ

Occurring in a tradition. As IAth says, بَدَآءٌ means deeming right a thing that is known after its having been not known, and this may not be attributed to God.

it occurred to him that he should do such a thing—بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا

As Suh says in the R, one may say this of God, meaning He desired to do such a thing; also بَدَا لَهُ فِى فِعْلِ كَذَا. The phrase in the tradition mentioned above has been explained in this way.

do this as long as it seems fit to you—اِفْعَلْ كَذَا مَا بَدَا لَكَ

See a verse of El-Ahmar cited under جَلَّ.

1.1.2the people, or company of men, went out to the desert—بَدَا القَوْمُ

Maṣdar بَدْوٌ or بَدَآءٌ [the latter is said in the TA to be the right one].

they went out to the desert—بَدَا إِلَى البَادِيَةِ

Maṣdar بَدَاوَةٌ and بِدَاوَةٌ.

The desert here is the بَادِيَة. Or, of the first verb: they went out to their بَادِيَة, or went out from the region of towns, villages, or cultivated land to the pasturing-places in the deserts.

ISd says بَدْوٌ may be used as meaning بِدَاوَةٌ, which is the opposite of حِضَارَةٌ.

J says بَدَاوَةٌ and بِدَاوَةٌ mean dwelling, or abiding, in the بَادِيَة [or desert], the opposite of حِضَارَةٌ; but Th says he knows بَدَاوَةٌ with fatḥ only on the authority of AZ alone.

As says that بداوة and حضارة have kesr to the ب and fatḥ to the ح, but AZ says the reverse, with fatḥ to the ب and kesr to the ح. Both are also explained as the going out to the بَادِيَة. Some mention بُدَاوَةٌ with ḍamm, but this is not known.

he went out from the constant sources of water to the places where herbage was to be sought—تبدّى

Or: he dwelt, or abode, in the بَادِيَة [or desert].

whoever abides in the desert becomes rude, rough, or uncivil, like the desert Arabs—مَنْ بَدَا جَفَا

Said in a tradition.

he used to go out to these water-courses in the desert, or these high grounds, or low grounds—كَانَ يَبْدُو إِلَى هٰذِهِ التِّلَاعِ

Said in another tradition.

1.1.3he voided his excrement—بَدَا

So called because one who does this goes out from the tents or houses into the open country.

Also ابدى [and ابدأ].

1.2he began with me by doing such a thing—بَدَانِى بِكَذَا

. This is like بَدَأَنِى.

1.3the land produced, or abounded with, truffles—بَدِيَتِ الأَرْضُ

The truffles are بَدَاة; or the land had truffles in it.

1.3.1dust, or earth—بَدَاة

Said of land: it had dust, or earth, in it.

6:28

بَلْ بَدَا لَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُخْفُونَ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلَوْ رُدُّوا۟ لَعَادُوا۟ لِمَا نُهُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ

Yea, in their own (eyes) will become manifest what before they concealed. But if they were returned, they would certainly relapse to the things they were forbidden, for they are indeed liars.

12:35

ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُۥ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

Then it occurred to the men, after they had seen the signs, (that it was best) to imprison him for a time.

20:121

فَأَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۚ وَعَصَىٰٓ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ

In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their covering, leaves from the Garden: thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.

39:48

وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا۟ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

For the evils of their Deeds will confront them, and they will be (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at!

45:33

وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

Then will appear to them the evil (fruits) of what they did, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at!

Or the former is a relative noun meaning of, belonging to, or relating to البَدَاوَة, in the sense of the dwelling in the desert, according to AZ; and the latter is a relative noun from البِدَاوَة, according to As and others, and Th holds it to be the chaste form.

Qur’ān 11:27 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root

فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا نَرَىٰكَ إِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَىٰكَ ٱتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِىَ ٱلرَّأْىِ وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍۭ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَـٰذِبِينَ

But the chiefs of the Unbelievers among his people said: "We see (in) thee nothing but a man like ourselves: Nor do we see that any follow thee but the meanest among us, in judgment immature: Nor do we see in you (all) any merit above us: in fact we think ye are liars!"Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1calamity, or misfortune—بَادِى بَدِى

Sometimes used as a name for this. It consists of two nouns made one, like مَعْدِىْ كَرِبَ.

1.2a man going out to the desert—بَادٍ

The desert here is the بَادِيَة. Or: one who is in the بَادِيَة, dwelling in the tents and not staying in his place.

Plural بَادُونَ and بُدًّا [in the TA wrongly said to be بُدًى, like هُدًى] and بُدَّآءٌ.

بَدْوٌ is an ism jamʿ of بَادٍ, or stands for أَهْلُ بَدْوٍ, meaning people who go out to the desert; or it means dwellers in the desert, people of the desert.

بَادِيَةٌ also means the same as بَادُونَ: people migrating from the constant sources of water and going out to the desert, seeking the vicinity of herbage; the opposite of حَاضِرَةٌ. And بَوَادِى [or بَوَادٍ] is the plural of بَادِيَةٌ.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلْنَـٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلْعَـٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلْبَادِ ۚ وَمَن يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍۭ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

As to those who have rejected (Allah), and would keep back (men) from the Way of Allah, and from the Sacred Mosque, which We have made (open) to (all) men - equal is the dweller there and the visitor from the country - and any whose purpose therein is profanity or wrong-doing - them will We cause to taste of a most Grievous Penalty.

A desert; so called because it is open, or uncovered; the opposite of حَضَرٌ.
