غَدَاءٌ
1.
The morning-meal, that is eaten between daybreak and sunrise; i. e. the meal, or repast, of the
غُدْوَة; (K;) or of the غَدَاة; (Msb;) the meal, or repast, that is the opposite of the
عَشاء: (S:) [it may therefore be rendered breakfast: but it is now commonly applied to dinner, which is eaten soon after the prayer of noon, and which is a lighter repast than the عَشَاء, i. e. supper:] الغدوة [apparently
الغَدْوَةُ] as meaning الغَدَاءُ is vulgar: (TA voce عَشْوَةٌ:) the plural of غَدَاءٌ is أَغْذِيَةٌ. (K.) And The [meal, or the draught of milk, called] سَحُور is thus termed; because it is to the person fasting the like of what it is to him who is not fasting. (TA.)
