بد

بُدٌ بد as signifying A separating oneself, or an artifice whereby one may avoid a thing or escape from it, (MF,) or an avoiding a thing, (Msb,) is not used but in negative phrases, (Msb, MF,) except by post-classical writers. (MF.) You say, لَا بُدَّ مِنْ كَذَا (T, S, M, &c.) There is no separating oneself from such a thing: (AA, T, S, A, K:) or there is no artifice whereby one may avoid it, or escape from it: (M, K:) or there is no avoiding it: (Msb:) it is absolutely necessary: it is not possible to separate oneself from it, nor is there anything that can serve in its stead. (TA.) And مَا لَكَ مِنْهُ بُدٌّ [ Thou hast not any means, or way, of separating thyself from it, or avoiding it ]. (M, L.) And لَيْسَ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ بُدٌّ There is no artifice for this affair. (T.) [It is also said, with reference to the first of these phrases, that] بُدٌّ signifies Amplitude; from أَبَدُّ meaning “ wide between the legs. ” (Ham p. 348.) -A2- Also, (M, K,) and ↓ بِدٌّ (M) and ↓ بِدَادٌ (IAar, T, M, K) and ↓ بُدَادٌ, (K, TA,) or ↓ بَدَادٌ, (CK,) and ↓ بُدَّةٌ, (IAar, T, M, K,) or ↓ بِدَّةٌ, (S, A, IAth, and mentioned also in a copy of the K,) but J has been charged with error in writing it thus, (K,) by Sgh, (TA,) A lot, share, portion, or set portion; (T, S, M, A, IAth, K;) of anything: (M, K:) [or] the last signifies a piece, or portion, separated, disunited, or dispersed: (Ham p. 823:) the pl. of بِدَادٌ is بُدُدٌ; and of بُدَدٌ بُدَّةٌ; (IAar, T, M;) and of بِدَدٌ بِدَّةٌ. (IAth, and Ham p. 823.) ― -b2- Also the first, A substitute; a thing given, or received, or put, or done, instead of, in the place of, or in exchange for, another thing; a compensation; syn. عِوَضٌ: (S, L, TA:) it is said to have this signification. (S.) [In the copies of the K, البَعُوضُ is put in the place of العِوَضُ: but this is said in the TA to be a mistake.] -A3- بُدٌّ is also an arabicized word, from بُتْ, (T, S, M, K, [in a copy of the M, بُتّ,]) which is Persian; (T, S;) meaning An idol; (IDrd, S, M, K;) pl. بَدَدَةٌ (S, K) and أَبْدَادٌ: (K:) and (or accord. to some, TA) the house of an idol: (K:) or a house in which are idols and images or pictures.
