ادى
Root entry · 1 derived lemmaاآدَى اآدى اآدي [a noun denoting the comparative and superlative degrees, irregularly formed from the verb أَدّى; like as the noun اآدَى mentioned in art. ادو is irregularly formed from the verb اآدَى]. You say, هُوَ اآدَى لِلأَمَانةِ [ He is more, or better, disposed to deliver, give up, or surrender, the thing committed to his trust and care ] (T, S, M, K) مِنْكَ [ than thou ], (S,) or مِنْ غَيْرِهِ [ than another than he ]. (M, * K.) [Az says,] the vulgar say, أَدَّى لِلْأَمَانَةِ; but this is incorrect, and not allowable; and I have not known any one of the grammarians allow اآدَى, because أَفْعَل denoting wonder [and the comparative and superlative degrees] is not formed but from the triliteral [verb], and one does not say, أَدَى in the sense of أَدَّى: the proper phrase is أَحْسَنُ أَدَاآءً. (T.) -A2- See also art. ادو.
