   Hydracid \Hy*drac"id\, n. [Hydr- + acid: cf. F. hydracide.]
      (Chem.)
      An acid containing hydrogen; -- sometimes applied to

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Acid \Ac"id\, n.
      1. A sour substance.
  
      2. (Chem.) One of a class of compounds, generally but not
            always distinguished by their sour taste, solubility in
            water, and reddening of vegetable blue or violet colors.
            They are also characterized by the power of destroying the
            distinctive properties of alkalies or bases, combining
            with them to form salts, at the same time losing their own
            peculiar properties. They all contain hydrogen, united
            with a more negative element or radical, either alone, or
            more generally with oxygen, and take their names from this
            negative element or radical. Those which contain no oxygen
            are sometimes called {hydracids} in distinction from the
            others which are called {oxygen acids} or {oxacids}.
  
      Note: In certain cases, sulphur, selenium, or tellurium may
               take the place of oxygen, and the corresponding
               compounds are called respectively {sulphur acids} or
               {sulphacids}, {selenium acids}, or {tellurium acids}.
               When the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a positive
               element or radical, a salt is formed, and hence acids
               are sometimes named as salts of hydrogen; as hydrogen
               nitrate for nitric acid, hydrogen sulphate for
               sulphuric acid, etc. In the old chemistry the name acid
               was applied to the oxides of the negative or
               nonmetallic elements, now sometimes called anhydrides.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Hydracrylic \Hy`dra*cryl"ic\, a. [Hydr- + acrylic.] (Chem.)

      Gr. "y`dra; akin to "y`dwr water. See {Otter} the animal,
      {Water}.]
      1. (Class. Myth.) A serpent or monster in the lake or marsh
            of Lerna, in the Peloponnesus, represented as having many
            heads, one of which, when cut off, was immediately

      Note: The body is a simple tube, having a mouth at one
               extremity, surrounded by a circle of tentacles with
               which it captures its prey. Young hydras bud out from
               the sides of the older ones, but soon become detached
               and are then like their parent. Hydras are remarkable
               for their power of repairing injuries; for if the body
               be divided in pieces, each piece will grow into a
               complete hydra, to which fact the name alludes. The
               zooids or hydranths of marine hydroids are sometimes
               called hydras.

      Note: Although a gas, hydrogen is chemically similar to the

               base. It is, in all acids, the base which is replaced
               by metals and basic radicals to form salts. Like all
               other gases, it is condensed by great cold and pressure
               to a liquid which freezes and solidifies by its own
               evaporation. It is absorbed in large quantities by
               certain metals (esp. palladium), forming alloy-like

      Note: Although a gas, hydrogen is chemically similar to the
               metals in its nature, having the properties of a weak
               base. It is, in all acids, the base which is replaced
               by metals and basic radicals to form salts. Like all
               other gases, it is condensed by great cold and pressure
               to a liquid which freezes and solidifies by its own
               evaporation. It is absorbed in large quantities by
               certain metals (esp. palladium), forming alloy-like

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hadarezer
      Adod is his help, the name given to Hadadezer (2 Sam. 8:3-12) in
      2 Sam. 10.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hadrach
      the name of a country (Zech. 9:1) which cannot be identified.
      Rawlinson would identify it with Edessa. He mentions that in the
      Assyrian inscriptions it is recorded that "Shalmanezer III. made
      two expeditions, the first against Damascus B.C. 773, and the
      second against Hadrach B.C. 772; and again that Asshurdanin-il
      II. made expeditions against Hadrach in B.C. 765 and 755."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Head-dress
      Not in common use among the Hebrews. It is first mentioned in
      Ex. 28:40 (A.V., "bonnets;" R.V., "head-tires"). It was used
      especially for purposes of ornament (Job 29:14; Isa. 3:23;
      62:3). The Hebrew word here used, _tsaniph_, properly means a
      turban, folds of linen wound round the head. The Hebrew word
      _peer_, used in Isa. 61:3, there rendered "beauty" (A.V.) and
      "garland" (R.V.), is a head-dress or turban worn by females
      (Isa. 3: 20, "bonnets"), priests (Ex. 39:28), a bridegroom (Isa.
      61:10, "ornament;" R.V., "garland"). Ezek. 16:10 and Jonah 2:5
      are to be understood of the turban wrapped round the head. The
      Hebrew _shebisim_ (Isa. 3:18), in the Authorized Version
      rendered "cauls," and marg. "networks," denotes probably a kind
      of netted head-dress. The "horn" (Heb. keren) mentioned in 1
      Sam. 2:1 is the head-dress called by the Druses of Mount Lebanon
      the tantura.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Hadarezer, same as Hadadezer
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Hadrach, point; joy of tenderness
