maṣdarوَأْدٌmuḍāriʿيَئِدُ

Core sense — he buried his daughter alivegenerated

1.1he buried his daughter alive in the grave, and put a load of earth upon her—وَأْدٌ

the maṣdar is the word glossed here.

In the time of paganism a man, when a daughter was born to him, would bury her alive as soon as her mother brought her forth, out of fear of disgrace and poverty; but this is forbidden in the Qur'ān 17:33.

Some of them used to bury their children alive in times of famine, and the tribe of Kindeh used to bury their daughters alive.

Qur’ān 17:32 approximate — somewhere between 17:13 and 17:44 Lane cites “Kur. xvii. 33”

Qur’ān 17:36 located by this root inside the range Lane’s citation allows

وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْبَصَرَ وَٱلْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْـُٔولًا

And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1.1withdrawal before the emission of seed, so that the woman should not conceive—الوَأْدُ الخَفِىُّ

A term used in this sense in a tradition; المَوْؤُودَةُ الصُّغْرَى is used in the same way, because the act resembles that of burying a child alive and is done with the same motive.
