ثَرِيدٌ ثريد and ↓ مَثْرُودٌ Bread crumbled, or broken into small pieces, with the fingers, and then moistened with broth: (Msb:) or [simply] broken bread. (S.) ― -b2- Also, the former, (T, A,) and ↓ ثَرِيدَةٌ (T, M, A, K) and ↓ ثُرْدَةٌ (S, M, A, Msb) and ↓ ثَرُودَةٌ (M, K) and ↓ مَثْرُودَةٌ (K accord. to the TA) and ↓ أُثْرُدَانٌ , (Fr, M, * K,) Bread, itself, crumbled, or broken into small pieces, with the fingers, (T, * S, * M, A, Msb, K, *) then moistened with broth (T, A, Msb) &c., (T,) and then piled up in the middle of a bowl; (A;) generally having some flesh-meat with it: (L:) or ↓ ثَرِيدَةٌ signifies a mess, or portion, of ثَرِيد [or bread crumbled or broken &c.]; (T;) [and so ↓ ثَرُودَةٌ , and ↓ مَثْرُودَةٌ :] that of Ghassán is said by common consent to have been prepared with marrow, and with eggs, or the yolks of eggs; and there was no kind more delicious than these two kinds. (TA.) The pl. of ثريدة is ثَرَائِدُ and ثُرُدٌ and ثُرْدٌ; (A, and Ham p. 524;) the last of which is a contraction of that next preceding it. (Ham ubi suprà.) A poet, as cited by IAar, says, “ ↓ أَلَا يَا خُبْزُ يَا ا@بْنَةَ يَثْرُدَانٍ
أَبَى الحُلْقُومُ بَعْدَكِ لَا يَنَامُ
” [Now surely, O bread, O daughter of two preparers of ثَرِيد, the throat refuses, after swallowing thee, to rest, by reason of desire for more]: he says that the poet calls the bread after two young men, or slaves, who were preparing ثريد, and gives tenween to يثردان by a poetic license, instead of saying يَثْرُدَانِ, which, as it is [originally] a verbal phrase, he should have said by rule: but the word, as Fr relates it, is ↓ أُثْرُدَانٍ ; and [ISd says,] I think that this is a determinate subst., for الثَّرِيد or المَثْرُود, and therefore properly imperfectly decl., but here made perfectly decl. by a poetic license. (M.) It is said in a trad. that the excellence of 'Áïsheh above other women is as the excellence of ثريد above other kinds of food; but it is said that what is here meant is food prepared with flesh-meat, together with ثريد, because this is generally prepared with flesh-meat, and it is said to be one of the two things called لَحْم. (TA.)
