مَزَادَةٌ

[A leathern water-bag, one of a pair which is borne by a camel or other beast;;] the half (شَطْر) of a رَاوِيَة: plural مَزَايءِدُ; [regularly مَزَاوِدُ; or the medial radical is ى and therefore the reg. plural is مَزَايِدُ;] and sometimes they said ↓ مَزَادٌ, [a coll. gen. n.,] without ة: [according to some,] it is of the measure مَفْعَلَةٌ, [originally مَزْوَدَةٌ,] from الزَّادُ, because one furnishes himself with water in it for travelling-provision: (Msb:) [and therefore it is mentioned in this article:] but this is a mistake. (TA in article زيد, q. v.)
