جود

جَيِّدٌ جيد , originally of the measure فَيْعِلٌ, (S, Msb,) as the Basrees say, i. e. جَيْوِدٌ, (Msb, TA,) the و being changed into ى because of its being meksoor and preceded by ى, and the augmentative ى being then incorporated into it; (TA;) or, as the Koofees say, of the measure فَيْعَلٌ, like عَيْطَلٌ &c., because there is found no sound word of the measure فَيْعِلٌ except صَيْقِلٌ, a woman's name, and the unsound is accorded to the sound; or, as others say, of the measure فَعِيلٌ, [and so I find in one copy of the S,] originally جَوِيدٌ, the kesreh of the و being, accord. to them, suppressed because difficult of pronunciation, and the quiescent و and ى thus coming together, [the latter receives the rejected kesreh, and] the و is changed into ى and incorporated into the [augmentative] ى; (Msb;) Good, goodly, approvable, or excellent; contr. of رَدِ ىْ; (A, K;) applied to a thing, (S,) or a commodity, an article of household-goods, or the like, (A, Msb,) and a work, or performance: (TA:) pl. جِيَادٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and جِيَادَاتٌ, (K,) the latter a pl. pl., [i. e. pl. of جِيَادٌ,] (TA,) and جَيَائِدُ, (S, K,) with hemz, [and, accord. to some,] contr. to analogy. (S.) [It is also applied to a man, meaning Excellent, or egregious, in some quality; sometimes, though very rarely, in a quality that is disapproved.]
