maṣdarحُيُودٌmuḍāriʿيَحِيدُ
Core sense — he turned aside from it, he avoided it, he went far from itgenerated

on this sense He declined, or turned aside or away, from it; he removed, went away, or went far away from it — said of a road, or of a thing; he shunned, or avoided, it, out of fear or disdain. [See also 3.]
1.1.1he removed him, or it, or took him far away—حاد بِهِ
he removed him, or it, or took him far away—احادهُ
