غَدٌ

, meaning The morrow, the day next after the present day, (Msb,) is originally ↓غَدْوٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the و being elided, (S, Msb,) without any substitution, (S,) and the د being made a letter of declinability. (Msb.) And one says غَدًا meaning [I will do such a thing, &c.,] tomorrow: and بَعْدَ غَدٍ the day after to-morrow. (MA.) See also غَدَاةٌ.

And its signification has been extended so that it is applied to a remote time that is expected, (Msb, TA,) and to a near time. (Nh, TA.)

It is not used in its complete form except in poetry: (Nh, TA:) Lebeed, (S, TA,) or Dhu-r-Rummeh, (TA,) has thus used it in his saying,

وَمَا النَّاسُ إِلَّا كَالدِّيَارِ وَأَهْلُهَا

بَلَاقِعُ ↓ بِهَا يَوْمَ حَلُّوهَا وَغَدْوًا

[And mankind are no other than the like of dwellings, the occupants thereof being in them daring the day in which they have alighted in them, and to-morrow they are vacant]: (S, TA:) or, according to the M, one says, هٰذَا عَدُكَ and ↓ هٰذَا غَدْوُكَ [This is thy morrow]. (TA.)

It has no diminutive. (Sb, S, in article امس.)
