Derived nouns 24

Nounفَرْدَ10 senses · 1 main

Core sense — single, sole, one and no more; alone, apart from others; having no equalgenerated

1I counted the dirhems one by one—عَدَدْتُ الدَّرَاهِمَ أَفْرَاداً

Single, sole, only; one and no more; synonymous with وِتْرَ, that is, وَاحِدٌ. [And, used as a noun, a single, or an individual, person or thing.]

Feminine فَرْدَةٌ and فَرْدَىْ, the latter irregular, as though feminine of فَرْدَانُ.

Plural أَفْرَادٌ and فُرَادَى, the latter irregular, as though plural of فُرْدَانُ and of فَرْدَىْ, as سُكَارَى is plural of سُكْرَانُ and of سَكْرَى. See also فُرَادٌ below.

1.1the Single, the Sole, the One, who has no equal or like—الفَرْدُ

Such as has no equal, or like; plural أَفْرَادٌ and فُرَادَى, the latter as noted above.

a sword having diversified wavy marks, streaks, or grain, unequalled in excellence—سَيْفٌ فَرْدٌ

ذُو فِرِنْدٍ in the K; in the TA وَفِرِنْدٌ, as though one said also سَيْفٌ فِرِنْدٌ, which is evidently a mistake.

the same—فَرَدٌ
the same—فُرُدٌ
the same—فَرِدٌ
the same—فَرُدٌ
the same—فَرِيدٌ
the same—فَرْدَدٌ

As an adjective applied to God. But Az says: I have not found it so applied in the Sunneh; and no adjective should be applied to God except one that He has applied to Himself, or that the Prophet has applied to Him.

The third and the fifth of these expressions are not in the text of the K as given in the TA.

1.2

The half, meaning one, of a pair or couple.

1.3a bull that is alone, by itself, or apart from others; solitary, or separate from others—ثَوْرٌ فَرْدٌ

Alone, by himself or by itself, or apart from others; unconnected with, or unattended by, others; solitary, or separate. Synonymous with مُتَّحِدٌ, or مَا كَانَ وَحْدَهُ, unmixed with others. [In this sense it is] a word of wider application than وِتْرٌ and more special than وَاحِدٌ.

Plural فِرَادٌ [and أَفْرَادٌ and فُرُودٌ also, as will be shown below].

An example of the first of these plurals occurs in a saying cited by IAar: [as the hawk's seizing, or carrying off by force, those that are apart from the others of the flock of birds]

shāhid
تَخَلُّفَ السَّقْرِ فِرَادَ السِّرْبِ

.

See, again, فُرَادٌ.

the same—مُفْرَدٌ

See an example under شَاةٌ in art. شوه.

a lote-tree apart from others—سِدْرَةٌ فَارِدَةٌ
a tree apart from others—فَارِدٌ شَجَرَةٌ
a tree apart from others—فَارِدَةٌ
a gazelle apart, or separate, from the herd—ظَبْيَةٌ فَارِدٌ
a she-camel that goes away alone, apart from others, in the pasture and at the water—نَاقَةٌ فَارِدٌ
the same—مِفْرَادٌ
the same—فَرُودٌ

The adjective applied to the male is فَارِدٌ only.

he is alone in this affair—هُوَ فَارِدٌ بِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ
your ewe, or she-goat, set apart from the flock, shall not be reckoned—لاَ تُعَدُّ فَارِدَتُكُمْ

Said in a tradition, meaning: the ewe, or she-goat, you have set apart from the flock or herd to milk her in the tent or house, shall not be reckoned among those for which you are to pay the poor-rate. Or the meaning is: what is over and above the فَرِيضَة [the fixed number of camels and the like to be given in payment of the poor-rate] shall not be added to it and reckoned with it.

whoever of you segregates himself and gains spoil shall resign it to the collective body—لاَ يَغُلُّ فَارِدَتُكُمْ

In another tradition; so explained by Th: such of you as segregates himself, one man for instance, or two, shall not act unfaithfully by keeping the spoil for himself.

and of you is El-Muzdelif, he of the solitary turban—فَمِنْكُمُ المُزْدَلِفُ صَاحِبُ العِمَامَةِ الفَرْدَةِ

In another tradition. This was said of him because, when he rode, no one with him wore a turban, to show honour to him.

1.4I met him, we two being alone—لَقِيْتُهُ فَرْدَيْنِ
1.5the brightly shining stars in the horizon, when other stars there are invisible—أَفْرَادُ النُّجُومِ

That is, الدَّرَارِىْءُ; so called because they are apart from the other visible stars.

the same—فُرُودُهَا
certain stars set in a row behind the Pleiades—الفُرُودُ

In some copies of the K الفُرْدُودُ [and so in the CK], but the first is the right reading.

In some copies of the K, around the Pleiades: certain bright stars around the Pleiades.

Also certain stars around حَضَارِ, which is one of the two stars called المُحْلِفَانِ, the other being called الوَزْنُ: certain small stars with حَضَارِ, so called because they are placed apart from it, by its side. (Kitáb Anwá el-'Arab)

a name of the star (a) in the hinder part of the neck of Hydra—الفَرْدُ

That is, الشُّجَاع [the constellation Hydra]; the star is also called عُنُقُ الشُّجَاعِ. So Kzw in his description of الشجاع.

1.6one side of a jaw—فَرْدٌ

Plural أَفْرَادٌ.

1.7a sandal with a single sole, not patched nor with a second sole added—سِمْطٌ

That is, one whose sole is not made of two pieces of leather sewed together, one beneath the other.

So in the saying: [O best of such as walk with a single-soled sandal]

shāhid
يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ يَمْشِى بِنَعلٍ فَرْدِ

, meaning O best of the great men of the Arabs.

Sandals were worn by the Arabs and not by foreigners, and thin sandals only by the kings and chief men among them.

1.8a bull, apparently a wild bull—فَارِدٌ

The headword has this meaning too. So Lth; see also مُفْرَدٌ.

1.9words transmitted by only one of the lexicologists—الأَفْرَادُ

The plural, as a conventional term in lexicology. What is so transmitted is admitted if the transmitter is a man of exactness, such as Aboo-Zeyd or El-Khaleel.

Mz, 5th نوع. See also الآحَادُ under أَحَدٌ, a similar but less restricted term; and see المَفَارِيدُ.

Nounفُرَادٌ1 sense

Core sense — one by one; one after another; separate onesgenerated

1they came one by one, one at a time, one after another—جَاؤُوا فُرَاداً

This is most properly regarded as an ism jamʿ rather than a plural of فَرْدٌ, and فُرَادُ is similar to it in meaning.

the same—فُرَادَى
the same—فُرَادَ

With tanwīn and without it.

Like ثُلَاثَ.

the same—رُبَاعَ
the same—فَرَادَ
the same—فِرَاداً

A plural of فَرْدٌ.

the same—فَرْدَى
the same—فُرَّاداً

Perhaps so by poetic licence; see an example in a verse cited under مُرْسِمٌ.

[you came to us one by one, or one after another]—جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَاداً
[they are separate persons and pairs]—هُمْ فُرَادٌ وَأَزْوَاجٌ
a party made up of separate persons, arranged by ones, or one after another—قَوْمٌ فُرَادُ

AZ relates that the Kilábees said this.

With tanwīn.

The Arabs said this, imperfectly declinable, likened to ثُلاَثُ.

the same—رُبَاعُ
the same—فُرَادَى

Fr says this last is a plural, and the singular, he adds, is فَرَدٌ, فَرِدٌ, فَرِيدٌ and فَرْدَانُ.

But فَرُدٌ, or فَرْدٌ, in this plural sense is not allowable; so in the K according to the TA, [in the CK فُرْدٌ].

Same as the headword. In the language of the ʿAjam, apparently the Persians, called جَاوَرْسَق [a word I do not find in any dictionary].

Ibráheem El-Harbee: شَذْر of silver, like pearls; or شَذْر that divide the pearls and the gold.

Also pearls that are strung and divided by other things put between them; or pearls that divide the pieces of gold in a necklace. One of them is termed فَرِيدَةٌ, plural فَرَائِدُ.

Also a precious, or highly esteemed, gem, as also فَرِيدَةٌ: as though it were the only one of its kind; or because it is unequalled; or because [it is a pearl] found alone in its shell.

Some say فَرَائِدُ الدُّرِّ means the large pearls.

1.2the vertebra that projects from the part of a horse's back next to the lumbar vertebrae—فَرِيدَةٌ

Also the vertebrae lying between the last of the six vertebrae that are next to the دَأْى of the neck and the six that are between these فَرِيد and the [rump-bone called the] عَجْب; as also فَرَائِدُ.

Or so the singular is said to mean: intervening between the dorsal vertebrae and the lumbar; it projects in some horses.
