عَنُودٌ

One who declines, or deviates, from the right way, or course; (S, O, L;) as also ↓ عَنِيدٌ. (L.) See also عَانِدٌ as applied to a camel.

A she-camel that deviates from the road by reason of her sprightliness and strength: plural عُنُدٌ and عُنَّدٌ; or, as ISd thinks, this latter is plural of ↓ عَانِدٌ, not of عَنُودٌ. (L.)

A she-camel that pastures aside; (S, O;) that does not mix with the other camels, but removes to a distance from them, and always pastures aside; as also ↓ عَانِدٌ and عَانِدَةٌ, (L;) that does not mix with the other camels, but is always apart from them; (IAth;) that is on one side of the other camels: (IAar and Aboo-Nasr:) plural of the first عُنُدٌ; (S, O, L;) and of the second and third, عُنَّدٌ and عَوَانِدُ. (L.)

A she-camel that continues to be opposite to the other camels, [or by their side;] keeping pace with them: one that precedes them, or leads them, is termed سَلُوفٌ: so says El-Keysee: but according to ISd, عَنُودٌ is applied to a beast (دَابَّة), and to a wild ass, that precedes others in her pace. (L.)

A man who alights in a place by himself, and mixes not with other persons. (A.)

See also عَنِيدٌ.
