أَرْوَدُ

Gentle, or quiet, and unnoticed in operation: so in the saying, الدَّهْرُ أَرْوَدُ غِيَرٍ [Time, or fortune, is gentle, or quiet, and unnoticed in operation; characterized by changing accidents]. (S, TA.)

-A2- ↓ أُرْيَدُ [More, and most, desirous], occurring in the prov., إِنْ كُنْتِ تُرِيدِينَ فَأَنَا لَكِ أَرْيَدُ [If thou desire me, I am more desirous of thee], is said by Akh to be altered from أَرْوَدُ; and thus to be like أَحْيَلُ, in the phrase هُوَ أَحْيَلُ النَّاسِ, originally أَحْوَلُ. (MF.)
