meaning of baʿūḍatan

[munir rana]

As Salamu Alaikum.

Would you please help me to understand the meaning of baʿūḍatan (2:26). In most of the translations it is described as mosquito/gnat. I Didn't find the word in Lane's or Badawi & Haleem's or Omar's dictionary.

Salam.

peace,

Did you look up the right root?
