Arabic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]The meanings “to stay, to bide” of the Arabic root ع د ن • (ʕ-d-n) appear to be denominal from the due date and spatial meanings of عِدَّان (ʕiddān), to be separated from the significations of “striking sharply”, hence “to manure”, “mine; metal”.
Root
[edit]ع د ن • (ʕ-d-n)
- related to being acuminate
